Quote by Benjamin Franklin

Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it.

Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it.

Summary

This quote suggests that having wealth does not necessarily make one truly wealthy. True wealth is measured by the ability to derive enjoyment and fulfillment from one's riches. Simply possessing wealth or material possessions does not guarantee happiness or contentment. It implies that the value of wealth lies not in the possession itself, but in the individual's capacity to find joy and satisfaction in the experiences and opportunities that money can provide. Therefore, this quote emphasizes the importance of deriving pleasure and fulfillment from wealth rather than its mere presence.

There is not any present moment that is unconnected with some future one. The life of every man is a continued chain of incidents, each link of which hangs upon the former. The transition from cause to effect, from event to event, is often carried on by secret steps, which our foresight cannot divine, and our sagacity is unable to trace. Evil may at some future period bring forth good; and good may bring forth evil, both equally unexpected.
