Quote by E.F. Schumacher
Our ordinary mind always tries to persuade us that we are nothing

Our ordinary mind always tries to persuade us that we are nothing but acorns and that our greatest happiness will be to become bigger, fatter, shinier acorns; but that is of interest only to pigs. Our faith gives us knowledge of something better: that we can become oak trees. – E.F. Schumacher
