Quote by Akhenaton

labor not after riches first, and think thou afterwards wilt

Summary

This quote advises against solely focusing on accumulating wealth. It suggests that one should not prioritize the pursuit of riches above all else, as true enjoyment will only come later. By neglecting the present moment in the pursuit of wealth, one risks throwing away all they currently have. The comparison to an arrow passing through the heart unknowingly implies that prioritizing the accumulation of wealth can result in missing out on the joys and experiences of life.
