Content makes poor men rich discontent makes rich men poor.

Summary

This quote implies that material possessions alone do not guarantee happiness or richness. Instead, being content with what one has can bring satisfaction and abundance even to those with fewer material resources. On the other hand, constantly desiring more and never being satisfied can lead to a sense of poverty and dissatisfaction, even for those who are financially wealthy. Thus, the key to personal richness lies not in material accumulation but in finding contentment within oneself.
