Poverty and Wealth
Democritus, fragment B 284 (tr. Daniel W. Graham):
Newer› ‹Older
If you do not desire much, little will seem to you to be much; for a small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
ἢν μὴ πολλῶν ἐπιθυμέηις, τὰ ὀλίγα τοι πολλὰ δόξει· σμικρὰ γὰρ ὄρεξις πενίην ἰσοσθενέα πλούτωι ποιέει.
