John Ruskin
There is no wealth but life. Life, including all its powers of love, of joy, and of admiration.
That country is richest which nourishes the greatest number of noble and happy human beings; that man is richest who, having perfected the functions of his own life to the utmost, has also the widest helpful influence ... over the lives of others.
... Einstein has reported that his profound generalization connecting space and time occurred to him while he was sick in bed. Descartes is said to have made his discoveries while lying in bed in the morning and both Cannon and Poincaré report having got bright ideas when lying in bed unable to sleep ... It is said that James Bradley, the great engineer, when up against a difficult problem, would go to bed for several days till it was solved.
Arthur Koestler
