“Elegance is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence, but of those who have already taken possession of their future.”
“Laws are always useful to those who possess and vexatious to those who have nothing.”
“The future belongs, not to those who have the most, but to those who do the most with what they have.”
“Who would fare better in this world of fitful time? Those who have seen the future and live only one life? Or those who have not seen the future and wait to live life? Or those who deny the future and live two lives?”
“The luxury to disparage freedom is the privilege of those who already possess it.”
“For those who have little are not equally held in subjection by their possessions as those who overflow with affluence, for then the love of it becomes more tyrannical. The increase of acquisitions kindles the flame more, and renders those who possess them poorer.”
