"Money alone is only a mean; it presupposes……" — Robert Louis Stevenson

Money alone is only a mean; it presupposes a man to use… - 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."
