There is no wealth but life. Life, including all its powers of love, of joy, and of admiration. That country is the richest which nourishes the greatest numbers of noble and happy human beings; that man is richest, who, having perfected the functions of his own life to the utmost, has also the widest helpful influence, both personal, and by means of his possessions, over the lives of others.
— John Ruskin

I believe that love is the main key to open the doors to the “growth” of man. Love and union with someone or something outside of oneself,
union that allows one to put oneself into relationship with others, to feel one with others, without limiting the sense of integrity and independence.
– Erich Fromm

Our whole evolution has reached a stage where nearly every man is either ruler or ruled; sometimes he is both. By this the attitude of dependence has been greatly strengthened, for a truly free man does not like to play the part of either the ruler or the ruled. He is, above all, concerned with making his inner values and personal powers
effective in a way as to permit him to use his own judgment in all affairs and to be independent in action.
— Rudolf Rocker

Follow the voice of your heart, even if it leads you off the path of timid souls. Do not become hard and embittered, even if life tortures you at times.
There is only one thing that counts: to live one’s life well and happily…

Do what you feel in your heart to be right — for you’ll be criticized anyway. You’ll be “damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.”
