Wealth, like happiness, is never attained when sought after directly. It comes as a by-product of providing a useful service.

Summary

This quote suggests that both wealth and happiness cannot be directly pursued or achieved by focusing solely on acquiring them. Instead, they are attained indirectly as a consequence of providing a valuable and meaningful service to others. In other words, by focusing on benefiting others and meeting their needs, one can naturally gain financial prosperity and personal fulfillment as a by-product of their efforts.
