Getting through life without a lot of money, possessions, and/or friends is admirable, especially if it is by choice.

Some people will insult your intelligence by suddenly being nice or nicer to you once you make it … or they think you have.

The second most dangerous thing about money is that it leaves most of the people who have a lot of it with the unshakable belief that they are intelligent and well informed. The most dangerous thing about it is that it leaves most of the people who do not have a lot of money with the very same belief.

Most people do not mind having a house that is smaller and/or a car that is cheaper than their neighbours’, as long as they each earn and have more money than their neighbours, and, equally important, their neighbours know that.

Some people ate less food less often when they each had a home than they now do as hobos.

Every single living thing is food to at least one living thing.
