“If the nature of the work is properly appreciated and applied, it will stand in the same relation to the higher faculties as food is to the physical body. It nourishes and enlivens the higher man and urges him to produce the best he is capable of. It directs his freewill along the proper course and disciplines the animal in him into progressive channels. It furnishes an excellent background for man to display his scale of values and develop his personality.” IfsMenBodyValuesCoursesAnimalProducePersonalityHigherDisciplineCapableRelationScalesBackgroundsExcellentUrgesFacultyProgressiveDisplayAppreciatedPhysical Body Author:J.

“Value in relation to price, not price alone, must determine your investment decisions. If you look to Mr Market as a creator of investment opportunities (where price departs from underlying value), you have the makings of a value investor. If you insist on looking to Mr Market for investment guidance however, you are probably best advised to hire someone else to manage your money.” IfsLooksValuesOpportunityDecisionRelationInvestmentDetermineCreatorManageGuidanceInvestors Author:Seth Klarman
“We don’t go further than what Marx called the exchange value of the actual object - we don’t think about the relations that that object embodies - and were important to the production of that object whether it’s our food or our clothes or our I-pads or all the materials we use to acquire an education at an institution like this. That would really be revolutionary to develop a habit of imagining the human relations and non human relations behind all of the objects that constitute our environment.” ThinkingHumansImportantUseValuesBehindsEnvironmentObjectsMaterialsHabitClothesRelationInstitutionsProductionsRevolutionaryAcquireOur EnvironmentHuman RelationsIpads Author:Angela Davis
“The fate of our times is characterized by rationalization and intellectualization and, above all, by the 'disenchantment of the world.' Precisely the ultimate and most sublime values have retreated from public life either into the transcendental realm of mystic life or into the brotherliness of direct and personal human relations. It is not accidental that our greatest art is intimate and not monumental.” WorldHumansArtPhilosophyValuesFateArt IsDirectUltimateRelationHistoricalIntimateRealmsOur TimeSublimeMysticPublic LifeHuman RelationsTranscendentalDisenchantment Book:From Max Weber: Essays in Sociology Source: From Max Weber: Essays in Sociology
