" real wealth is not so much what we have as what we are."

Sterling W. Sill

 

I think this quote means that money doesn't depend how wealthy you are, but wealth depends on what type of person you are. Like if you're a really nice and caring person you're wealth because you have a good personality. If you have an ugly attitude then you're not wealthy in a physical way.
