We Live In An Age When Unnecessary Things Are Our

“Time crumbles things; everything grows old under the power of Time and is forgotten through the lapse of Time.”

“Were all the geniuses of history to focus on this single theme, they could never fully express their bafflement at the darkness of the human mind. No person would give up even an inch of their estate, and the slightest dispute with a neighbor can mean hell to pay; yet we easily let others encroach on our lives—worse, we often pave the way for those who will take it over. No person hands out their money to passersby, but to how many do each of us hand out our lives! We’re tight-fisted with property and money, yet think too little of wasting time, the one thing about which we should all be the toughest misers.”

“Freedom is the only worthy goal in life. It is won by disregarding things that lie beyond our control.”

“These times of woe afford no time to woo.”

“Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.”

“The unexamined life is not worth living.”
