Quote by Eustace Budgell
The reason why we see that people of the greatest capacity are not rich, is either they despise wealth in comparison to something else, or, they are not content in getting an estate, unless they may do it in their own way, while at the same time enjoying all the pleasures and gratitude's of life.
Summary
This quote suggests that highly capable individuals who are not wealthy have two probable reasons for their situation. Either they prioritize something other than wealth as more important, or they are not satisfied with simply acquiring wealth unless they can do so according to their own desires and simultaneously enjoy all the pleasures and delights that life has to offer. In essence, it implies that personal values and desires greatly influence one's pursuit of wealth and financial success.
