Do you not covet all? Do you not long to have it; to enjoy it; to overcome it? To what end do men gather riches, but to multiply more? Do they not like Pyrrhus the King of Epire, add house to house and lands to lands, that they may get it all?” MenWorldGivingMayLongSoulEndsHouseEnjoyLandWallKingsOvercomingAskingAddRichesInclinationNobilityInsatiableBenefactorsWorld Is Yours Book:Centuries of Meditations Source: Centuries of Meditations
