Quote by John Maynard Keynes

Most men love money and security more, and creation and construction less, as they get older.

Most men love money and security more, and creation and cons

Summary

This quote suggests that as men age, their priorities tend to shift towards prioritizing money and security over the act of creating or constructing something new. It implies that the desire for financial stability becomes more prominent with age, potentially outweighing the inclination to engage in creative endeavors. This could be due to the increasing responsibilities and concerns that come with aging, causing individuals to become more cautious and focused on maintaining a stable and secure lifestyle.
