Canoes and Riches

"You can canoe a man to lands' of riches, but if you teach a man to canoe, then he will never be in need of riches." - Benjamin Cowley

I think this quote points out people's complacency with life when they find their riches. They get stuck in one place. They get stuck in monotony. If you teach a man to explore and look for new experiences, then he will not worry about riches. His life will be more fulfilling than someone with massive riches stuck in one place. 

So please ask yourself, "Am I living my life in a land of riches? Or am I living it in a fucking canoe?" - Cowley
