About This Quote

Today, I had a homeless man come into my store. He walked in with a book under his arm and a few coins in his pocket. I offered him free books, but he insisted on giving me his quarters. He walked away filled with joy as if he possessed the world's riches in his hands.

In a way, he did. He left me smiling and knowing that he was wealthier than many others.
