Oh, man, this is so cool! I love the little prince! I grew up reading it. I even wrote a poem about the fox's lesson! I shared it in a post I wrote weeks ago, if you're interested...

I wrote it in Portuguese, so in the English translation it is sub-optimal, but it is something...

What I think of how the saying you cited can be applied to POB is that the more you yearn, the more you earn! Which means, the more you dedicate yourself to making better and better posts, and the more you are respectful and active in the community, the more people like you, the happier you are and, consequently, the more you earn. Which is a self-feeding vicious cycle! Truly vicious! hahahaha
