The envious pine at others' success; no greater punishment than envy was devised by Sicilian tyrants.
As riches grow, care follows, and a thirst For more and more.

Why harass with eternal purposes a mind to weak to grasp them?
He, who has blended the useful with the sweet, has gained every point .
