But if you can create an honorable livelihood, where you take your skills and use them and you earn a living from it, it gives you a sense of freedom and allows you to balance your life the way you want.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To sum it all up, the objective of my life has been to give work a moral and economic dignity.
Work is about more than making a living, as vital as that is. It's fundamental to human dignity, to our sense of self-worth as useful, independent, free people.
It is neither wealth nor splendor; but tranquility and occupation which give you happiness.
One of the rewards of success is freedom, the ability to do whatever you like.
It is not wealth one asks for, but just enough to preserve one's dignity, to work unhampered, to be generous, frank and independent.
Jobs are what give people a sense of fulfillment and self-reliance.
Making money is marvelous, and I love doing it, and I do it reasonably well, but it doesn't have the gripping vitality that you have when you deal with the happiness of human life and with human deprivation.
I cannot think of a more personally rewarding and appropriate use of wealth than to give while one is living.
Work is toil: what one does only to earn a living. If it gives pleasure, it is leisure.
You work for whatever you get in life.
