Matshona DhliwayoThere is no gem like virtue, no wealth like happiness, no treasure like faith, and no jewel like love.
About This Quote
The seven words listed above all have to do with the importance of finding things within ourselves that are beautiful, precious, and important. It’s easy to get so caught up in the materialistic aspects of life that we don’t take time to appreciate our own soul. But there are times when it is so easy to forget everything else when we are presented with a truly powerful moment. For example, while some people might find a new car or some other symbol of wealth attractive, there is no gem like virtue.
We don’t just want to have health, wealth, treasure, or faith—we want them because they are intrinsic to who we are. As the poet Robert Frost said, “You cannot put a price on something you cannot see or touch or smell or taste.”
