"The few men who possess the wealth of the material things of the earth at the present time are not truly happy"

- Joseph Franklin Rutherford

About this Quote

This quote by Joseph Franklin Rutherford speaks with the idea that product wide range does not equate to true joy. He recommends that the few people who have the majority of the world's material wide range are not in fact content. This suggests that money and also belongings do not bring true joy as well as contentment. Instead, real joy originates from within as well as is not dependent on material ownerships. This quote motivates us to concentrate on things that genuinely matter in life, such as connections, experiences, as well as individual development. It is a pointer that real joy is not found in product wide range, yet rather in the abstract points that bring us happiness and fulfillment.
