Summary

This quote implies that there are individuals who prioritize monetary worth and material possessions over the inherent worth or importance of things. These people may be solely concerned with the cost or market value of items, rendering them incapable of understanding and appreciating the deeper significance or quality of those things. They fail to recognize the intangible benefits or the emotional and sentimental value that can outweigh mere monetary assessments. Therefore, this quote criticizes individuals who measure everything in terms of price, neglecting to appreciate the true value or worth of things beyond their monetary value.
