Not being able to govern events, I govern myself. – Michel de Montaigne
Wise words. It all starts with “you”.
Thanks, Keith. Have a great holiday, and a happy new year! – BGT
To you as well!
“We should reserve a store house for ourselves . . .” he wrote in his essay On Solitariness, “altogether ours, and wholly free, wherein we may hoard up and establish our true liberty, and principal retreat and solitariness.”
Hoarding was acceptable to him at a time when it was looked down upon. We can learn from him that financial independence is a worthy pursuit that we can seek without shame.
Great quote, Dario. Thank you, sir. Happy holidays if we don’t exchange notes between now and then. – BGT
You as well sir. Thank you.
A beautiful set of life lessons. Required reading by my parents.
Thanks for the comment, Jane. Lucky you with those parents…! – BGT
