Summary

This quote illustrates that wealth does not inherently change a person's essential qualities or character. It suggests that if individuals were unpleasant or unkind prior to accumulating great wealth, their behavior will continue to reflect those negative traits even after amassing a substantial fortune. In essence, money only serves to amplify and magnify their pre-existing disposition, highlighting the idea that wealth itself does not fundamentally alter one's true nature.

Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest--whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or twelve categories--comes afterward. These are games; one must first answer.

To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injusti

To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman. If by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior. Has she not greater intuition, is she not more self-sacrificing, has she not greater powers of endurance, has she not greater courage? Without her, man could not be. If nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with woman. Who can make a more effective appeal to the heart than woman?
