I can't tell you how humorous yet profound I find that wise passage. A few more on point:
“It requires more courage and honor to keep the bling off your chariot than to submit to the tackiness of bling.”
-- Napoleon Bonaparte
“The glory that goes with bling is fleeting and fragile; virtue is a possession glorious and eternal.”
-- Sallust
“Bling's passion will be served; it demands, it militates, it tyrannizes.”
-- Marquis De Sade
“Probably the greatest harm done by vast wealth is the harm that we of moderate means do ourselves when we let the vices of bling and hatred enter deep into our own natures.”
-- Theodore Roosevelt
