“There is a saying that no man has tasted the full flavour of life until he has known poverty, love and war. The justness of this reflection commends it to the lover of condensed philosophy. The three conditions embrace about all there is in life worth knowing. A surface thinker might deem that wealth should be added to the list. Not so. When a poor man finds a long-hidden quarter-dollar that has slipped through a rip into his vest lining, he sounds the pleasure of life with a deeper plummet than any millionaire can hope to cast.” MenShouldLongWarPhilosophyMightThreeSoundWealthPleasurePoorKnownPovertyKnowingConditionsLoversReflectionEmbraceDollarsCastsDeeperSurfaceListsThinkerQuartersRipMillionairePoor ManFlavourPleasures Of LifeVestsLove And War Book:Delphi Complete Works of O.
