Being alone by oneself is much better than being alone with another.

Money doesn’t come for the asking. Often one has to adjust to the whims of one’s superiors, to flatter them and to please them. In the process one ceases to be free.

It is better to be poor than to live alone.

Solitude is the nest of thoughts.

It is better to pay and have little than to have much and be in debt.

Loneliness is worse but the worst kind of loneliness is when you are in a crowd of people.
