About this Quote

He is asking for the chance to prove that money can not make him happy, recommending that he has actually experienced the pursuit of cash and the acquisition of wealth, but has actually not discovered true joy in it. This quote suggests that money can bring momentary satisfaction, but it can not bring lasting joy. It suggests that real joy originates from within, and that it is not something that can be bought.
