MONEY, MONEY

For money you can have everything, it is said.

No, that is not true.

You can buy food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; soft beds, but not sleep; knowledge, but not intelligence; glitter, but not comfort; fun, but not pleasure; acquaintances, but not friendship; servants, but not faithfulness; grey hair, but not honor; quiet days, but not peace.

The shell of all things you can get for money. But not the kernel. That cannot be had for money.

Norwegian author and journalist, Arne Garborg (1851-1924)
