Lust for possession and greed has ravaged the soul of humanity like a great cancer, metastasizing throughout society in the form of a nouveau post-human, consumer hedonism.

There can never be any real freedom on earth as long as people try to exert ownership over the natural resources of the world.

The joy and smile of even one child is worth more than the prancing intellects of a thousand men, for we are, that we might have joy, and be free.

Even the most beautiful scenery is no longer assured of our love after we have lived in it for three months, and some distant coast attracts our avarice: possessions are generally diminished by possession.

A polite enemy is just as difficult to discredit, as a rude friend is to protect.

If you do not like a certain behavior in others, look within yourself to find the roots of what discomforts you.
