“Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.” - Oscar Wilde
Build an economic basis under your life, but don’t get caught in the rat-trap of money-making as a profession; that too, like sex, can be a consuming fever, and brings only fitful pleasures, no lasting happiness. Your wife will have the responsibility of stimulating you to develop all your creative capacities; but I hope she will not prod you into keeping up with all the Joneses in the town. If you become an employer your relation with your employees is more important than adding a zero to your wealth. Give every employee the full equivalent of his share in the product. Don’t live in a boastful luxury based on taking more from the world than you give. ~ Will Durant
