Efficacy

"My spiritual advisor told me to wear this to protect myself against envy."

"It's working. I don't envy you at all."

Education

"Literacy rates are at a historic low. More and more children are unschooled every year. This situation is not compatible with democracy, mister president!"

"I see."

"... therefore, I have appointed myself supreme dictator for life, as this regime is better suited to our educational system."

Wisdom

"He who has no material possessions longs for them. He who walks wants a car. He who rents dreams of owning his home. By surrounding myself with luxury and riches, I free my soul from those earthly preoccupations and can focus on my spiritual growth."

"So wise!"

"So enlightened!"
