The man whose riches satisfy his greed <br />Is not more rich for all those heaps and hoards <br />Than some poor man who has enough to feed <br />And clothe his corpse with such as God affords. <br /> <br />I have no use for men who steal and cheat; <br />The fruit of evil poisons those who eat. <br /> <br />Some wicked men are rich, some good men poor, <br />But I would rather trust in what's secure; <br />Our virtue sticks with us and makes us strong, <br />But money changes owners all day long.<br /><br />Solon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-man-whose-riches-satisfy-his-greed/
