“However destructive may be the policies of the government and the methods and products of the corporations, the root of the problem is always found to be found in private life. We must learn to see that every problem that concerns us as conservationists always leads straight to the question of how we live.

It is also being destroyed by popular demand.” WorldMayProblemGovernmentFoundPowerfulRichDoubtPolicyProductsDemandConcernRootsMethodGreedDestroyedCorporationsNo DoubtDestructiveConsumerismPrivate LifeOverconsumption Book:Sex, Economy, Freedom & Community: Eight Essays Source: Sex, Economy, Freedom & Community: Eight Essays
“The best recipe for happiness and contentment I've seen is this: dig a big hole in the garden of your thoughts and put into it all your disillusions, disappointments, regrets, worries, troubles, doubts, and fears. Cover well with the earth of fruitfulness. Water it from the well of contentment. Sow on top the seeds of hope, courage, strength, patience, and love. Then when the time for gathering comes, may your harvest be a rich and fruitful one.” WellsMayBigsEarthHappinessWaterWorryRichDoubtTroubleRegretGardenAnd LoveDisappointmentSeedsHolesContentmentHarvestRecipesGatheringDisillusionCourage StrengthPatience And LoveFruitfulnessDoubt And FearHope Courage Book:Staying Up, Up, Up in a Down, Down World: Daily Hope for the Daily Grind Source: Staying Up, Up, Up in a Down, Down World: Daily Hope for the Daily Grind
“The determination of the value of an item must not be based on its price, but rather on the utility it yields. The price of the item is dependent only on the thing itself and is equal for everyone; the utility, however, is dependent on the particular circumstances of the person making the estimate. Thus there is no doubt that a gain of one thousand ducats is more significant to a pauper than to a rich man though both gain the same amount.” MenPersonsValuesMoneyRichDoubtParticularAmountCircumstancesThousandEqualGainsDeterminationSignificantNo DoubtDependentYieldItemsUtilityRich Man Author:Daniel Bernoulli
“I have not the smallest doubt that, if we had a purely democratic government here, the effect would be the same.

“Yet even the rich have their own kind of suffering, anxiety, doubt, and fear. So in many cases, wealthy people aren't happy!

“Not the children of the rich or of the powerful only, but of all alike, boys and girls, both noble and ignoble, rich and poor, in all cities and towns, villages and hamlets, should be sent to school. Education is indeed necessary for all, and this is evident if we consider the different degrees of ability. No one doubts that those who are stupid need instruction, that they may shake off their natural dullness. But in reality those who are clever need it far more, since an active mind, if not occupied with useful things, will busy itself with what is useless, curious, and pernicious.” IfsNeedsShouldMindMayChildrenDifferentRealitySchoolGirlNaturalAbilityPoorPowerfulCitiesBoysRichDoubtStupidDegreesTownsBusyActiveNobleCleverCuriousUselessShakesVillageInstructionEvidentRich And PoorBoy And GirlPerniciousDullnessSchool EducationIgnobleUseful ThingsActive MindsCities And Towns Author:John Amos Comenius
