Money

Money will buy you a fine dog, but only love can make it wag its tail.”

Ms. Davis's Answer:
I think the quote means that money can only get you so far towards having something you dream of.  Say you want to be a great guitarist; with money you can buy the guitar you desire, but only with love and dedication will you be the guitarist you dream of being.  I agree with the quote.
