Proverbs are valuable lessons for life, if we take the time to think deeply about them. I love to share their wisdom, uttered so succinctly. This week, I have a found a proverb and a quote regarding wealth.
No one is rich enough to do without a neighbor.
Danish Proverb
“Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty.”
Socrates
(Because if you aren’t happy with what you have, you won’t be any happier when what you have is doubled.)
Is that what this Danish man in the picture is pondering about?

A philosophic Aussie writes here at StPA, one who will readily admit to loving Scandinavia. I'm interested in global politics and what drives us to be who we are. Scratch the surface and you'll find a practical Environmentalist with an egalitarian bent, trying to unleash a little creativity via the written word.
Scandinavian culture, literature and traditions are close to my heart, even though I'm Australian. Travel and courteous discussions greatly broaden the mind, so I travel if I can and am always up for a vigorous, respectful discussion. I'm an avid reader, a writer and I enjoy photography and crafts, particularly traditional art forms. I hope you'll find 'Something to Ponder About,' in my WordPress Community.
