Quote by R. Venning

Worldly riches are like nuts; many a tooth is broke in cracking them, but never is the stomach filled with eating them.

Worldly riches are like nuts; many a tooth is broke in crack

Summary

This quote highlights the fleeting nature of material wealth. It compares worldly riches to nuts, suggesting that they may appear enticing and worth pursuing, but they can be difficult to obtain, akin to breaking open a hard shell. However, after the struggle, the reward is limited. Just as one cannot fill their stomach by solely cracking nuts, material wealth alone cannot truly satisfy or bring lasting fulfillment. It reminds us that true satisfaction comes from sources beyond mere accumulation of wealth.
