Sherrilyn KenyonThe wealth of a soul is measured by how much it can feel... its poverty by how little.
About This Quote
The wealth of a soul is measured by how much it can feel. The poverty of a soul is measured by how little. When a person feels rich they have a true sense of importance and they are in the right place in the world. This is in contrast to a person who feels poor, who has little feeling for others.
The person with wealth may not be wealthy in material terms but they will be wealthy in every other way. They will have something important to give and be able to make a difference when they do. On the other hand, the person who feels poor will lack the ability to make a difference.
They will lack something important to give and will make no difference whatsoever to the world around them.
