“Very little is needed to make a happy life.”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius“The acceptance of oneself is the essence of the whole moral problem and the epitome of a whole outlook on life. That I feed the hungry, that I forgive an insult, that I love my enemy in the name of Christ -- all these are undoubtedly great virtues. What I do unto the least of my brethren, that I do unto Christ. But what if I should discover that the least among them all, the poorest of all the beggars, the most impudent of all the offenders, the very enemy himself -- that these are within me, and that I myself stand in need of the alms of my own kindness -- that I myself am the enemy who must be loved -- what then?”
Memories, Dreams, Reflections • Carl Gustav Jung“ “Money is the most universal and most efficient system of mutual trust ever devised.””
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind • Yuval Noah Harari“Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.”
Man's Search For Meaning • Viktor E Frankl“I have claimed that Escape is one of the main functions of fairy-stories, and since I do not disapprove of them, it is plain that I do not accept the tone of scorn or pity with which 'Escape' is now so often used. Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls?”
On Fairy-Stories • J.R.R Tolkien
