George Orwell2 quotes

It takes off a lot of anxiety. — George Orwell · 1933Within certain limits, it is actually true that the less money you have, the less you worry. — George Orwell · 1933Henry Miller1 quote
I have no money, no resources, no hopes. I am the happiest man alive. — Henry Miller · 1934Henry Wotton1 quote
Lord of himself, though not of lands;
And having nothing, yet hath all. — Henry Wotton · 1651John Heywood1 quote
The loss of wealth is loss of dirt,
As sages in all times assert;
The happy man's without a shirt. — John Heywood · 1580
