Quote by Igor Stravinsky

Money may kindle, but it cannot by itself, and for very long, burn.

Money may kindle, but it cannot by itself, and for very long

Summary

This quote suggests that money can ignite people's ambition and desires, but it is not enough to sustain them indefinitely. While money might provide temporary satisfaction, its ability to motivate and bring long-lasting happiness is limited. True fulfillment and contentment come from sources beyond material wealth, such as relationships, personal growth, and purpose. The quote reminds us that money alone is not the key to lasting happiness and acknowledges the importance of other aspects of life in finding true fulfillment.
