Who Is Rich He That Rejoices In His Portion

He who has made a fair compact with poverty is rich

“Who, being loved, is poor?”

Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power

“He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature.”

He who spares the wicked injures the good

“He who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser, sees newly every time he looks at the object beloved, drawing from it with his eyes and his mind those virtues which it possesses.”
