What we do during our working hours determines what we have; what we do in our leisure hours determines what we are.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Our work defines our possessions, while our leisure defines our character.
This quote by George Eastman emphasizes the importance of both work and leisure in our lives. It suggests that the efforts we put into our job or career lead to the material success we attain, but it is our leisure time activities that shape our true selves and character. In other words, while work can yield tangible results and achievements, how we choose to spend our free time reflects our values, interests, and personality.

If a man has wealth, he has to make a choice, because there is the money heaping up. He can keep it together in a bunch, and then leave it for others to administer after he is dead. Or he can get it into action and have fun, while he is still alive. I prefer getting it into action and adapting it to human needs, and making the plan work.

[T]he essence of belief is doubt, the essence of reality is questioning. The essence of Time is Flow, not Fix. The essence of faith is the knowledge that all flows and that everything must change. The growing man is Man Alive, and his "philosophy" must grow, must flow, with him. . . . the man too fixed today, unfixed tomorrow - and his body of beliefs is nothing but a series of fixations.
