"Money can't buy happiness, but it can make you awfully comfortable while you're being miserable"
- Clare Boothe Luce
About this Quote
This quote by Clare Boothe Luce suggests that cash can provide a certain level of comfort, but it can not bring true happiness. Cash can purchase product belongings and offer a specific level of security, however it can not bring happiness and satisfaction. Cash can offer a momentary distraction from distress, however it can not change the feeling of true delight and complete satisfaction. Cash can make life easier, but it can not make life meaningful. Cash can provide a complacency, however it can not offer a sense of purpose. Money can make life more comfy, but it can not make life more satisfying. Money can purchase a great deal of things, but it can not buy true happiness.
"The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depends upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation, the man of manly character and of wisdom"
"Given the choice, children who don't want for anything will not save... We have an obligation as parents to give our children what they need. What they want we can give them as a special gift, or they can save their money for it"
