If every man took only what was sufficient for his needs, leaving the rest to those in want, there would be no rich and no poor.

Drunkenness, the ruin of reason, the destruction of strength, premature old age, momentary death.

Wherever you may go, the least plant may bring you clear remembrance of the Creator.

Do not measure your loss by itself; if you do, it will seem intolerable; but if you will take all human affairs into account you will find that some comfort is to be derived from them.

There is nothing unpremeditated, nothing neglected by God. His unsleeping eye beholds all things.

If every man took only what was sufficient for his needs, leaving the rest to those in want, there would be no rich and no poor.

Who is the covetous man? One for whom plenty is not enough.
