About this Quote

This quote by Richard O'Brien talks to the motivations that drive us in life. He suggests that there are three main factors for doing things in this world: love, eminence, and money. Love is the most essential of the 3, as it is the most selfless and satisfying. Prestige is the 2nd, as it is the desire to be appreciated and admired by others. Finally, cash is the 3rd, as it is the most tangible and practical of the three. O'Brien recommends that if you can get all three together, then you remain in an excellent position. This quote speaks to the value of having a balance in between the 3 motivations in life, as having too much of one can result in an unfinished life.
