Thoughts Close to Midnight

“One has to strike a balance between ‘making a living’ and ‘living’.”

“Most people foolishly let the marketplace enter their hearts.”

“Ask yourself how differently you would approach life if you realized happiness is within.”

“The greatest risk to one’s freedom is marriage. Yet marriage continues to be popular as an institution across all cultures in all epochs maybe because “it combines the maximum of temptation with the maximum of opportunity” as George Bernard Shaw put it.”

“Most people derive their happiness from physical pleasures, a few from intellectual pleasures, and hardly anyone from their own self.”
