Great Throughts Treasury

"I take him to be the only rich man that lives upon what he has, owes nothing, and is contented; for there is no determinate sum of money, nor quantity of estate that can denote a man rich, since no man is truly rich that has not so much as perfectly satiates his desire for having more; for the desire of more is want, and want is poverty."

"The way to be nothing is to do nothing."

"The way of this world is to praise dead saints and persecute living ones."
