Riches enlarge rather than satisfy appetites.

Riches enlarge rather than satisfy appetites.

Summary

This quote suggests that wealth and material possessions only serve to increase one's desires and cravings instead of providing genuine satisfaction. It implies that the more one obtains wealth, the more they yearn for even greater riches, revealing an insatiable and never-ending quest for more. It points out the inherent nature of human greed, in which the pursuit of wealth does not lead to contentment but rather amplifies one's desires, consistently leaving them wanting more. Ultimately, it suggests that true fulfillment cannot be achieved through material abundance alone.
