The acquisition of riches has been for many people, is not an end, but a change, of troubles; 

For the fault is not in the wealth, but in the mind itself. 

If you have nothing, before anything else, seek understanding first.

Wisdom offers wealth in ready money, & pays it over to those in whose eyes it has made wealth superfluous.

Change the age in which you live, & you have too much; But in every age, what is enough remains the same.

I shall borrow from Epicurus: "The acquisition of riches has been for many people, not an end, but a change, of troubles."; For the fault is not in the wealth, but in the mind itself.

Just as it matters little whether you lay a sick person on a wooden or on a golden bed, for whithersoever they be moved, they will carry their malady with them; so one need not care whether the diseased mind is bestowed upon riches or upon poverty.

Their malady goes with the person.

Farewell.

Seneca, StoicTaoist.
