Whoever is not in the possession of leisure can hardly be said to possess independence.
The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery.
Man is not the sum of what he has, but the totality of what he does not yet have, of what he might have.[L’homme n’est point la somme de ce qu’il a, mais la totalité de ce qu’il n’a pas encore, de ce qu’il pourrait avoir.]
Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can, no need for greed or hunger, a brotherhood of man. Imagine all the people, sharing all the world…
He who possesses most must be most afraid of loss.[Chi piv possiede piv debbe temere di nó perdere.]
He who possesses art and science has religion; he who does not possess them, needs religion.
He does not possess Wealth, it possesses him.
Go to foreign countries and you will get to know the good things one possesses at home.
Everything is good… as long as it is unpossessed. Satiety and possession are Death’s horses they run in span.
