About This Quote
Wealth, status, and power are meaningless if they are not used to benefit other people. This means that the only way to test the worthiness of these things is to see how closely you can approach their ideal. The purpose of having wealth, status, or power is to enrich the lives of other people. If you are moved by this idea, then it’s time to make some changes in your life.
