About This Quote
The world of books is the wealth of being. A person’s wealth can be measured in many ways, and books are one way of measuring the amount of knowledge and wisdom a person possesses. Since we can’t see or touch books, we must rely on the opinions of others to determine their value. However, if we read enough books, we’ll eventually come to know what works and what doesn’t. And when it comes to making financial decisions, we would do well to remember that the world of books is one place where we can test our knowledge.
