What do you want ?

If you wish, to be rich, do not add to your store of money, instead do subtract from your desires.

The difference between illuminations & brightness, is that one source its light from others, while one radiates light from the source, such as the Moon is dark when cast in shadows, while the Sun radiance comes from within. 

The thirst can be quench at a small cost, provided only that you give it what you owe, not merely all you are able to give.
