Quote

I don't have many possessions, apart from my books.

I don't like inherited wealth.

I felt I was owned by possessions.

I hate belongings. I hate clutter. It really bothers me because I can't think properly. If you've got distractions in front of you, your mind goes nuts.

Unnecessary possessions are unnecessary burdens. If you have them, you have to take care of them! There is great freedom in simplicity of living. It is those who have enough but not too much who are the happiest.

Inordinate desire for material possessions can become an obsession that consumes our thoughts, drains our resources, and leads to unhappiness.

We are not the sum of our possessions.

Treasure your relationships, not your possessions.

I don't like shopping, and I like my clothes to be comfortable.

Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.
