Quote by Plato

No wealth can ever make a bad man at peace with himself

No wealth can ever make a bad man at peace with himself

Summary

This quote suggests that material wealth cannot bring inner peace or contentment to a morally corrupt individual. It highlights the idea that no matter how much wealth a person accumulates, it does not change the nature of their character or their internal values. True peace comes from within, from living a life aligned with moral principles. No amount of money or possessions can compensate for a person's lack of righteousness or bring them true happiness.
