The gifts of fortune

To be wealthy, a rich nature is the first requisite 
and money but the second. 
To be of a quick and healthy blood, 
to share in all honorable curiosities, 
to be rich in admiration and free from envy, 
to love with such generosity of heart 
that your love is still a dear possession in absence or unkindness -- 
these are the gifts of fortune which money cannot buy 
and without which, money can buy nothing.
                           Robert Louis Stevenson
