“Wealth is not an absolute. It is relative to desire. Every time we yearn for something we cannot afford, we grow poorer, whatever our resources. And every time we feel satisfied with what we have, we can be counted as rich, however little we may actually possess.”

“See how small your are next to the mountains. Accept what is bigger that you and what you do not understand.

Our life is not the measure of all things: consider sublime places a reminder of human insignificance and frailty.”
― Alain de Botton, The Art of Travel
