“...the late Mr. Seymour himself has already served as a cautionary tale that happiness as a matter of course does not follow wealth. We cannot fulfill ourselves by worldly possessions. Wealth is but a tool that can be put to use for better or worse, but material wealth pales next to the bounty of human connection....Without connection this life is meaningless.
[Nora Bergen, Letter to brother Finn]”

“I was of the opinion that a good heart was not money in the bank. You couldn't buy a bowl of rice with sympathy, I used to say. But two baht worth of rice with love at the supper table is a feast, and I know, because we starved on roast pork.”

“Money is like water, it’s everywhere. It’s in the ground, it’s in the sky, it’s in the air… it’s everywhere. If you’d like, your wallet or account can be like a rainwater pool where the money is filled up and always flowing. And where you can just put a cup in that pool and drink from it whenever you like and you always have more than enough money because the pool is always full. And there’s a prosperous ecosystem where the money clouds are always passing by and pouring more money in there. That’s a good relationship with money.”

“A major part of wealth is liquidity. Yes, It’s important to have valuable assets with big price tags. But it’s also important that your assets are doing more than inflating your net worth. Those assets should be providing continuous, substantial and endless streams of money for you.
You should always be able to access the money you need to do the things you need to do and like to do. There is power in liquidity.”
