 1 This result is the fault only of those, who seek
 2 money, not from poverty or to supply their necessary wants, but
 3 because they have learned the arts of gain, wherewith they bring
 4 themselves to great splendour.  Certainly they nourish their
 5 bodies, according to custom, but scantily, believing that they
 6 lose as much of their wealth as they spend on the preservation of
 7 their body.  But they who know the true use of money, and who fix
 8 the measure of wealth solely with regard to their actual needs,
 9 live content with little.
