Before Strongly Desiring Anything

“Before strongly desiring anything,
we should look carefully into the happiness of its present owner.”


Francois duc de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

I found that quote on a calendar years ago and I saved it.
Today it hits me more strongly than ever. For me this can apply to desire for:

A house
A car
A dog
A job
A man

Especially a man.
