"A chest of gold coins or a..." - Quote by Alan Watts

“The self-styled practical man of affairs who pooh-poohs philosophy as a lot of windy notions is himself a pragmatist or a positivist, and a bad one at that, since he has given no thought to his position.”

“Many people never grow up. They stay all their lives with a passionate need for external authority and guidance, pretending not to trust their own judgment.”

“You find out that the universe is a system that creeps up on itself and says 'Boo' and then laughs at itself for jumping.”

“The whole value of the dime is in knowing what to do with it.”

“The loss of a much-prized treasure is only half felt when we have not regarded its tenure as secure.”

“Few and mean as my gifts may be, I actually am, and do not need for my own assurance or the assurance of my fellows any secondary testimony.”

“Time is money'... Waste it now. Pay for it later!”

“The purpose of money was to purchase one's freedom to pursue that which is useful and interesting.”

“To give money to a sufferer is only a come-off. It is only a postponement of the real payment, a bribe paid for silence, a creditsystem in which a paper promise to pay answers for the time instead of liquidation. We owe to man higher succors than food and fire. We owe to man.”
