Quote by John S. Bonnell

Of all the riches that we hug, of all the pleasures we enjoy, we can carry no more out of this world than out of a dream.

Of all the riches that we hug, of all the pleasures we enjoy

Summary

This quote highlights the transient nature of material possessions and worldly pleasures. It suggests that despite our attachment to material wealth and the enjoyment we derive from worldly pleasures, they hold no significance beyond this life. Similar to the fleeting nature of dreams, everything we accumulate in terms of riches and pleasures will be left behind when we depart from this world. It serves as a reminder to prioritize experiences, relationships, and intangible qualities over material possessions, as those are what truly carry meaning and can be cherished beyond the confines of reality.

The boys were amazed that I could make such a poem as that out of my own head, and so was I, of course, it being as much a surprise to me as it could be to anybody, for I did not know that it was in me. If any had asked me a single day before if it was in me, I should have told them frankly no, it was not.That is the way with us; we may go on half of our life not knowing such a thing is in us, when in reality it was there all the time, and all we needed was something to turn up that would call for it.
