You have to be very rich or very poor to live without a trade.

Remembrance of things past is just for the rich. For the poor it only marks the faint traces on the path to death.

I was born poor and without religion, under a happy sky, feeling harmony, not hostility, in nature. I began not by feeling torn, but in plenitude.

Rebellion cannot exist without the feeling that somewhere, in some way, you are justified.

Without frugality none can be rich, and with it very few would be poor.

To create is to live twice.
