No one is kept in poverty by a shortness in the supply of riches, there is more than enough for all.
If you are poor now, Aemilianus, you will always be poor. Riches are now given to none but the rich.
For everything divine and human, virtue, fame, and honor, now obey the alluring influence of riches.
A man that hoards up riches and enjoys them not, is like an ass that carries gold and eats thistles.
