The quantity of riches ordsprog

en The quantity of riches one must earn can be compared to the shoes one wears; if too small, they cause pain; if too big, they are a hindrance to physical and mental comfort. When we have more, it breeds pride, sloth and contempt for others.

en Compared to what we ought to be, we are only half awake. We are making use of only a small part of our mental and physical resources.

en Pain (any pain--emotional, physical, mental) has a message. The information it has about our life can be remarkably specific, but it usually falls into one of two categories: "We would be more alive if we did more of this," and, "Life would be more lovely if we did less of that." Once we get the pain's message, and follow its advice, the pain goes away.

en I have mental joys and mental health,
Mental friends and mental wealth,
I've a wife that I love and that loves me;

en The pain was considerable, but trivial compared with my mental state.

en The only antidote to mental suffering is physical pain.
