186- Social needs of new times - Rudolf Steiner

12 conferences held in Dornach and Bern, 29 November to 21 December 1918«Money is not something you can live on. Anyone who believes that one can live on money has no interest in his neighbor, because no one can live on money. You have to eat, and the food has to be produced by someone. You have to get dressed. What you wear must be produced by people. This is what I live for, not my money. My money has no value other than to give me the power to use other people's labor. We cannot separate the thought that many people work to have the minimum of life, from the other thought that we must give back to society, not with money but with work, what is produced for us. Only if we feel obliged to return the amount of work that is done for us with work in another form, only then do we have an interest in others.»
