What’s true of all the evils in the world is true of plague as well. It helps men to rise above themselves.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Money alone is only a mean; it presupposes a man to use it. The rich man can go where he pleases, but perhaps please himself nowhere. He can buy a library or visit the whole world, but perhaps has neither patience to read nor intelligence to see. . . . The purse may be full and the heart empty. He may have gained the world and lost himself; and with all his wealth around him. . . he may live as blank a life as any tattered ditcher.
