“And were it not that they are loath to lay out money on a rope, they would be hanged forthwith, and sometimes die to save charges.”
“A mere madness, to live like a wretch, and die rich.”
“Truly, misers fare not to heavenly realms; nor, indeed, do fools praise generosity. But the wise man rejoices in giving, and by that alone does he become happy hereafter.”
“Quærit, et inventis miser abstinet, ac timet uti.”
“If I knew a miser, who gave up every kind of comfortable living, all the pleasure of doing good to others, all the esteem of his fellow-citizens, and the joys of benevolent friendship, for the sake of accumulating wealth, Poor man, said I, you pay too much for your whistle.”
“Tam deest avaro quod habet, quam quod non habet.”
