Charles
Caleb Colton quotes
This gentle, clever man, who was still alive around the start of the
19th Century left many important clues about how to live our lives. I have
mentioned some in an earlier post – and no doubt, will come back with more in
later ones.One of them, dealing with the habits of mankind was:
“Money
is the most envied, but the least enjoyed.
Health
is the most enjoyed, but the least envied.”
To me, this truth has been driven home by the untimely death of the
brilliant Robin Williams; and also through the book I am reading at present:
‘Reminiscences of a Stock Operator’ by Edwin Lefevre.Most of us already know about the hilarious Robin and the laughter he created – most of us would learn a lot by reading Edwin Lefevre’s account of his protagonist making a living out of stock dealing.
