Let the man who has acquired Enough not ask for MORE.
A house and acreage, a pile of bronze and gold coins,
Have never been able to lower the sick man’s fever
Or drive out his worries. The proprietor must be well
If he plans to enjoy the good things he’s gathered together.
[Quod satis est cui contingit, nihil amplius optet.
Non domus et fundus, non aeris acervus et auri
Aegroto doniini deduxit corpore febres,
on animo curas; valeat possessor oportet,
Si conpertatis rebus bene cogitat uti.]Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 2 “To Lollius,” l. 46ff (1.2.46-50) (14 BC) [tr. Palmer Bovie (1959)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/horace/82038/

Le Figaro: Identité américaine en péril, communisme, âge d’or... Ce qu’il faut retenir du #discours de #Trump au Mont #Rushmore
#Identité #américaine: y a plein d' #allemands...et de #sud #africains et leur descendants d' #extrême #droite...
#Communisme: tous ces pauvres , insoumis, qui refusent leur propre esclavage, et ne veulent pas que les autres soient des #ultra #riches qui les exploitent sans vergogne, ni compte a rendre, c'est insupportable!
Quel bel Âge d'or.

A quotation from Samuel Johnson
One cause which is not always observed of the insufficiency of riches is, that they very seldom make their owner rich. To be rich is to have more than is desired, and more than is wanted; to have something which may be spent without reluctance, and scattered without care, with which the sudden demands of desire may be gratified, the casual freaks of fancy indulged, the unexpected opportunities of benevolence improved.
Avarice is always poor, but poor by her own fault.Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
Essay (1759-09-08), The Idler, No. 73More about this quote: wist.info/johnson-samuel/84440…

A quotation from Basil the Great
You seem to have great possessions! How else can this be, but that you have preferred your own enjoyment to the consolation of the many? For the more you abound in wealth, the more you lack in love.
[ἀλλὰ μὴν φαίνῃ ἔχων κτήματα πολλά. Πόθεν ταῦτα; ἢ δῆλον ὅτι τὴν οἰκείαν ἀπόλαυσιν προτι μοτέραν τῆς τῶν πολλῶν παραμυθίας ποιούμενος. Ὅσον οὖν πλεονάζεις τῷ πλούτῳ, τοσοῦτον ἐλλείπεις τῇ ἀγάπῃ.]Basil of Caesarea (AD 330-378) Christian bishop, theologian, monasticist, Doctor of the Church [Saint Basil the Great, Ἅγιος Βασίλειος ὁ Μέγας]
Sermon (368 ca.), "To the Rich [Ὁμιλία πρὸς τοὺς πλουτούντας]" [tr. Schroeder (2009)]More about this quote: wist.info/basil-of-caesarea/70…

Le RN et le patronat : « S’il conquiert le pouvoir, le RN sera obligé de puiser dans les troupes de la droite »
23 avril 2026 - Youmni Kezzouf
Pour le sociologue Sylvain Crépon, les appels du pied du RN à destination des grands patrons ne sont qu’un nouveau revirement d’un parti « attrape-tout » qui a fait de son flou programmatique un outil de sa normalisation.

L'ex-ministre de l'Economie Eric Lombard revient dans Libé sur l'impunité fiscale des plus hauts patrimoines: "parmi les personnes les plus fortunées, des milliers ont un revenu fiscal de référence de zéro. Ils ne paient aucun impôt sur le revenu ! Au lieu de payer des charges sociales sur leur salaire, ils se font rémunérer dans les holdings". https://www.liberation.fr/politique/eric-lombard-la-methode-lecornu-ne-fonctionne-pas-20260111_GOXCAMX7KVDWLOWUWUMQ2IUEDA
