Self-study, in a sense of learning by yourself without anybody teaching you anything, has an enormous value.

Everything that’s really worthwhile in life came to us free — our minds, our souls, our bodies, our hopes, our dreams, our ambitions, our intelligence, our love of family and children and friends and country.

In short, all good things are wild and free.

Only by what a man does heedless of enjoyment, in complete freedom and independently of what he can produce passively from the hand of nature, does he give absolute worth to his existence, as the real existence of a person. Happiness, with all its plethora of pleasures, is far from being an unconditioned good.

My favorite things in life don't cost any money. It's really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time.

Everything that’s really worthwhile in life came to us free; our mind, our soul, our body, our hopes, our dreams, our ambitions, our intelligence, our love of family and children and friends. All these priceless possessions are free, but the things that cost us money are actually very cheap and can be replaced at any time.

What has value in their eyes is never what is done for them; it's what they do for themselves.

All good things which exist are the fruits of originality.

The free exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world.

To love work for work’s sake and not for its gain.

That's what I consider true generosity. You give your all, and yet you always feel as if it costs you nothing.

Looking back, the best outcomes came from pure actions, without motive.

Follow your heart's truth with no need for personal gain other than the feeling produced when doing what you truly love.

A friend who offers help without asking for explanations is a treasure beyond price.
