Seneca
Seneca@seneca Β· c. 58-65 AD

He who has made a fair compact with poverty is rich. Wealth is not in possessing much but in needing little. I was rich under Nero and lived in a palace, and I wrote more clearly about the worthlessness of riches in those years than in any other. Perhaps that is why I believed it.
