More From Samuel Richardson

When my mouth shall be filled with dust, and the worm shall feed, and feed sweetly upon me, when the ambitious man shall have no satisfaction if the poorest alive tread upon him, nor the poorest receive any contentment in being made equal to princes, for they shall be equal but in dust.

We need each other to do things that we can't do for ourselves. if we are intimately connected with each other, we just give things to each other; if we don't know each other we find another way to handle it. if you think about it, each according to his or her abilities and each according to his or her needs is sort of the same thing as supply and demand.
Thinking Giving Needs
Organize your reality according to your strength; organize your reality according to your playfulness; according to your dreams; according to your joy; according to your hopes - and then you can help those who organize their reality according to their fears.

You obviously don't know what an old man of the sea great wealth is. it is not a fat purse and time to spend it. its owner finds himself beset on every side, at every hour, wherever he goes, by persistent pleaders, like beggars in bombay, each demanding that he invest or give away part of his wealth. he becomes suspicious of honest friendship--indeed honest friendship is rarely offered him; those who could have been his friends are too fastidious to be jostled by beggars, too proud to risk being mistaken for one.

I'm a recording artist who's traveled around the world so i have different opportunities than other people and people may decide how i should use my opportunities because my opportunities are public whereas i can't decide how people should use their opportunities because their opportunities are private. that's what we're dealing with - people feeling like they should be able to control celebrities.

Keep the extent of your abilities unknown.the wise man does not allow his knowledge and abilities to be sounded to the bottom, if he desires to be honored at all. he allows you to know them but not to comprehend them. no one must know the extent of his abilities, lest he be disappointed. no one ever has an opportunity of fathoming him entirely. for guesses and doubts about the extent of his talents arouse more veneration than accurate knowledge of them, be they ever so great.
