Good morning Paul. You have to accumulate what you truly don't need when you are young, so you can learn the lessons before you grow old. The better choice would be to get it from the start. Enjoy your day.

I have always been a big proponent of satisfying needs more than wants, we tend to want too much in life, haha.

Good morning, Paul... I can attest to this from personal experience. The older I get the less I need or want.

Another fabulous photo which just goes so well with the quote. Being able to enjoy such a scene is enough to lift one's spirit and make you grateful for all you have.

Hi Paul- I love the photo as well as the quote. When we're young our list of wants seems to grow. And as others have said, it's when we grow older and mature that we understand that satisfaction comes in having what we need.

Those words are a real reminder that the accumulation of goods doesn't really mean happiness.  Americans are far too materialistic.

Hi Paul:

Vernon was very wise. Too bad some people are always wanting, and thus are sure to be disappointed at some level with what they have. 

Love that photo!
