“Na chaourya haryam, nat raj haryam, Nat bhrat bhajyam, na cha bhar kari, vyaye krate vardhe yev nityam, Vidya dhanam sarve dhanam pradhanam The thief cannot steal it, the king cannot confiscate it, The brother cannot divide it, it has not weight, With sharing, it grows everyday, That is why knowledge is considered supreme. திருடனால் அதைத் திருட முடியாது, ராஜாவால் அதை பறிக்க முடியாது, சகோதரனால் அதைப் பிரிக்க முடியாது, அதற்கு எடை இல்லை, பகிர்வுடன், அது தொடர்ந்து வளர்கிறது, அதனால்தான் அறிவு தளம் உச்சமாகக் கருதப்படுகிறது. Il ladro non può rubarlo, il re non può portarlo via, Il fratello non può dividerlo, non ha peso, Con la condivisione, cresce regolarmente, Ecco perché la conoscenza è considerata suprema.”

“Schließlich verdanken wir nur einen Bruchteil unseres Wohlstands unseren eigenen Anstrengungen. Wir, die wir im Land des Überflusses leben, sind reich dank der Institutionen, des Wissens und des sozialen Kapitals, das unsere Vorfahren angehäuft haben. Dieser Reichtum gehört uns allen. Und ein Grundeinkommen wird uns allen erlauben, daran teilzuhaben.”
