Man feels that riches are paramount,
but what he fancies as wealth are
but material, momentary, trivial things.
Character, virtue, brotherhood, charity -
these are the real riches.
The company of the good and godly
is the wealth that is most worthy.
Wisdom is the most precious wealth.
The educated person must live with this conviction.
Search for mere riches can never confer
contentment and peace of mind.
Each one yearns for lasting joy
but does not stop to discover from where it can be got.
It is not available anywhere outside him.
