For money you can have everything it is said. No, that is not true. You can buy food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; soft beds, but not sleep; knowledge but not intelligence; glitter, but not comfort; fun, but not pleasure; acquaintances, but not friendship; servants, but not faithfulness; grey hair, but not honor; quiet days, but not peace. The shell of all things you can get for money. But not the kernel. That cannot be had for money.Arne Garborg
About This Quote
“For money you can have everything” is a common expression, but it isn’t true. Money can’t buy love, friendship, health or happiness. If money could buy everything, then the poor would be rich, and most of us wouldn’t work for a living. However, money is the only thing that can pay for all of these things, and they are very important things to hold on to. If you want to enjoy life then you need to make the effort to achieve these things for yourself.
