"It is in spending oneself that one becomes rich"
- Sarah Bernhardt
About this Quote
This quote by Sarah Bernhardt speaks to the concept that true wealth is not determined in material belongings, but rather in the experiences and relationships we have in life. By spending ourselves, we are buying our own growth and development, and in the lives of those around us. This might imply investing our time, energy, and resources into meaningful relationships, hobbies, and activities that bring us joy and satisfaction. When we provide of ourselves, we are rewarded with a richness of life that can not be measured in money or ownerships. We end up being richer in understanding, understanding, and gratitude for the world around us. By spending ourselves, we end up being richer in the important things that genuinely matter.
