Quote

The travail of freedom and justice is not easy, but nothing serious and important in life is easy. The history of humanity has been a continuing struggle against temptation and tyranny - and very little worthwhile has ever been achieved without pain.

I am convinced that there can be luxury in simplicity.

Morality is a private and costly luxury.

The fact is that modern life has deprived us of life's one great luxury: time.

When life is too easy for us, we must beware or we may not be ready to meet the blows which sooner or later come to everyone, rich or poor.

Simplicity is an acquired taste. Mankind, left free, instinctively complicates life.

I think there is something about luxury - it's not something people need, but it's what they want. It really pulls at their heart.

It's not the easiest life in the world, but then no life is easy.

Life is not better and more moral than it was in the '50s. It's just the same.

If somebody has an extreme amount of wealth and is not using it for some good purpose, only for their own enjoyment or satisfaction, then clearly there's a moral failing in the world in which we live.
