Money Principle Meditation Piece

Which desirest thou the most?
Is the gratification of thy desires of each day, a  jewel, a bit of finery, better raiment, more food; things quickly gone and forgotten?

Or is it substantial belongings, gold, lands, herds, merchandise, income bringing investments?

The coins thou takest from thy purse bring the first, the coins thou leavest within it will bring the later.

-- one of Principles Of The Richest Man In Babylon -- By George S. Clason
