The more you own, the more you know you don’t own.
Meaning of the quote
The more things you have, the more you realize that you don't really own them. The more stuff you collect, the more you understand that you can't keep it forever. Owning too many things can make you feel like you're not in control. It's better to focus on what's really important instead of trying to have everything.
