Books Quote by Anurag Prakash Ray
“Money can buy a house, but not a home. It can buy a bed, but not sleep. It can buy a clock, but not time. It can buy a book, but not knowledge. Money can earn a position, but not respect. It can buy blood, but not health, so you see, money is not everything in life.”
