So many people of wealth understand much more about making and saving money than about using and enjoying it. They fail to live because they are always preparing to live.

So many people of wealth understand much more about making and saving money than about using and enjoying it. They fail to live because they are always preparing to live.

⇛ Alan Watts (Philosopher)

Copy Quote Text

I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.

Alan Watts Philosopher

To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.

Alan Watts Philosopher

If happiness always depends on something expected in the future, we are chasing a will-o'-the-wisp that ever eludes our grasp, until the future, and ourselves, vanish into the abyss of death.

Alan Watts Philosopher

Saints need sinners.

Alan Watts Philosopher

Every child must be encouraged to get as much education as he has the ability to take. We want this not only for his sake - but for the future of our nation's sake. Nothing matters more to the future of our country: not our military preparedness - for armed might is worthless if we lack the brainpower to build world peace; not our productive economy - for we cannot sustain growth without trained manpower; not our democratic system of government - for freedom is fragile if citizens are ignorant.

Lyndon B. Johnson 36th U.S. President

We all know that men in moderate circumstances can have just as comfortable houses as the richest, just as comfortable clothing, just as good food. They can see just as fine paintings, just as marvelous statues, and they can hear just as good music. They can attend the same theaters and the same operas. They can enjoy the same sunshine, and above all, can love and be loved just as well as kings and millionaires.

Robert Green Ingersoll Lawyer

It is not the employer who pays the wages. Employers only handle the money. It is the customer who pays the wages.

Henry Ford Industrialist

I had no idea what to expect moving to New York. It's embarrassing to say, but I didn't even realize that people bought contemporary art... that people actually paid for it... I know that's really dumb. I was really naive. I had no idea artists made money.

Wade Guyton Artist

If one does not wish bonds broken, one should make them elastic and thereby strengthen them.

Ardant Du Picq

it's immoral to work to make money. There's something unlucky in it. You got to work for the work. You got to work on a farm, for the farm - then it makes money.

Christina Stead Novelist
