Lailah Gifty AkitaPhD made me poorer, without money, but richer in thoughts.
About This Quote
This quote is about how your education can make you poorer. What money does for you in life is make you richer, but only in the things money can buy. If you buy material things with your money, such as a house, car, and other such luxuries, then those things will make you richer, but those things will also make you poorer. You can’t buy love or wisdom or friendship or happiness with money. So what good is money if it can’t buy the things that make life more fulfilling?
