Quote by Jean Jacques Rousseau

The truth brings no man a fortune.

The truth brings no man a fortune.

Summary

This quote suggests that being honest and truthful does not necessarily lead to financial success or material wealth. In a world often driven by deception and manipulation, the pursuit of truth may not prove lucrative. Instead, it implies that wealth and fortune are often acquired through other means such as dishonesty or by exploiting others. Thus, this quote serves as a reminder that one should not solely measure success or happiness based on monetary gain, and that integrity and honesty are valuable even if they don't bring material wealth.
