Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.

Superfluous wealth can buy superfluities only.

If to chaffer and higgle are bad in trade, they are much worse in Love. It demands directness as of an arrow.

Wealth is measured by the level of experience in all aspects of life

How prompt we are to satisfy the hunger and thirst of our bodies; how slow to satisfy the hunger and thirst of our souls!

There is no more fatal blunderer than he who consumes the greater part of his life getting his living.

Most men I do not meet at all, for they seem not to have time; they are busy about their beans.
