Platinum Queen ii

Even a Queen cannot find happiness and satisfaction in diamonds and gold. Only Christ can fulfill a human being, whether she be a queen or a fishwife. 

I also gathered for myself silver and gold and the special treasures of kings and of the provinces...

Whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them.
I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure,
For my heart rejoiced in all my labor;
And this was my reward from all my labour.
Then I looked on all the works that my hands had done
And on the labor in which I had toiled;
And indeed all was vanity and grasping for the wind.
There was no profit under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 2:8-11
