Let There Be a Limit
Horace, Satires 1.1.92-94 (tr. H. Rushton Fairclough):

In short, set bounds to the quest of wealth, and as you increase your means let your fear of poverty lessen, and when you have won your heart's desire, begin to bring your toil to an end...
denique sit finis quaerendi, cumque habeas plus,
pauperiem metuas minus et finire laborem
incipias, parto quod avebas...
92 cumque codd.: quoque Muretus
