| Fame or one's own self, which matters most? Nay, which does one love more? Which should one love more, fame or one's own life? Which is more valuable, one's own life or wealth? One's own self or things bought, the solid goods, which should really count most? Which is worse, gain or loss? Could it be loss (of self) or possession which is the greater evil? [Which gain is the greater evil here?] Therefore: he who loves most spends most. He who has lavish desires could spend extravagantly. He who hoards much could lose much. Who hoards much is in for losing heavily if who has hoarded most could suffer the heaviest loss. The contented man could meet no disgrace; Who stops in time knows when to stop. Who stops in time nothing can harm if free from danger he can long endure and feel forever safe and secure. He can long endure who stays forever safe and secure - |
