seek the kernel

"For money you can have everything it is said.

No, that is not true.

You can buy food, but not appetite;

medicine, but not health;

soft beds, but not sleep;

knowledge but not intelligence;

glitter, but not comfort;

fun, but not pleasure;

acquaintances, but not friendship;

servants, but not faithfulness;

grey hair, but not honor;

quiet days, but not peace.

The shell of all things you can get for money.

But not the kernel.

That cannot be had for money."

-Arne Garborg, writer (1851-1924)
