Quote of the day by Marcus Aurelius: 'The only wealth which you will keep forever is the wealth...'

Marcus Aurelius is credited with the saying 'The only wealth which you will keep forever is the wealth you have given away'.

The quote argues that material possessions are temporary, while generosity builds lasting character and social bonds.

The attribution to Aurelius is historically uncertain; 'Meditations' was a private journal, not a public work.
