You can easily find people who are ten times as rich at sixty as they were at twenty; but not one of them will tell you that they are ten times as happy

Summary

This quote suggests that wealth does not necessarily guarantee happiness. It implies that while people may accumulate more wealth as they grow older, it does not translate to an equal increase in happiness. The emphasis on the phrase "not one of them" implies that people who have experienced significant financial gains over time still do not feel a substantially higher level of happiness. Thus, the quote highlights the idea that happiness cannot be solely achieved through material wealth and that there are other factors that contribute to overall life satisfaction.

It's a very important thing in terms of championship living.

Honestly, I'm cool with everyone, and people pick up on that. I'd say, 'I'm not gay, but it's all good.' It's kind of like going to Paris when you don't know the language some Americans get into trouble over there, but I'm just like, 'Sorry, I don't speak French.'
