You don't want to possess anything that is dear to you because you might lose it. The jealous are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves. The time to be happy is now. The ripest peach is highest on the tree. Someday I want to be rich.
Some people get so rich they lose all respect for humanity.
That's how rich I want to be. Every increased possession loads us with a new weariness. It is not the man who has too little who is poor, but the one who craves more. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it.
