This is a quotation from Oliver Goldsmith born 1730 died 1774 who suggests that moderation is best in all things. Too much wealth makes one loose human qualities, too much food and liquor is the road to ruin. Morals and ethics decline and in the process, life is ruined. It is argued that there is something profoundly wrong with the way in which we live today. So this quotation applies as much today as it did during the 1700's

What is Odysseus treasure?

Odysseus's treasure primarily refers to the wealth and riches he accumulates during his adventures, particularly the spoils taken from the cities he conquers and the gifts he receives from allies. However, more significantly, his true treasure lies in his cleverness, resourcefulness, and the loyalty of his crew and family. Ultimately, upon his return to Ithaca, the greatest treasure is his reunion with his wife Penelope and the restoration of his household. This highlights the theme that true wealth is found in relationships and homecoming rather than material possessions.

Can tooth decay be genetic?

While it is not true that if your parents have a lot of decay, you will also have a lot of decay, it is true that there is a genetic predisposition to tooth decay. This simply means that you may have to work harder to maintain good oral hygiene to prevent tooth decay. Tooth decay is primarily a function of poor oral hygiene. Keep you mouth adequately clean, see your dentist and hygienist frequently, follow their advice, and you will likely experience less tooth decay.

Is it true that the most common source of income is investment?

No, it's not accurate to say that the most common source of income is investment. For most individuals, primary sources of income typically come from employment, wages, or salaries.
