Matshona DhliwayoIf you have a house but no home, you are homeless; knowledge but no wisdom, you are imprudent; acquaintances but no friends, you are lonely; money but no happiness, you are poor; and life but no joy, you are lifeless.
About This Quote
This quote is about taking time to appreciate the things in life that are truly important. For example, you can have a million dollars in the bank but if you don’t have anything else to show for it, then you are essentially homeless. You can have great knowledge but if you don’t know how to use it, how to apply it, or even what to do with it, then you will be imprudent. Without friends and acquaintances, you will be lonely.
You can have money in the bank but if you can’t spend it, enjoy it or make use of the world at large, then you are poor. And without joy in life, there is no life.
