A quotation from Horace

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)]

A quotation from Abigail Adams

Of all pride, that which persons discover from Riches is the weakest. If we look over our acquaintance, how many do we find who were a few years ago in affluence, now reduced to real want.

Abigail Adams (1744-1818) American correspondent, First Lady (1797-1801)
Letter (1790-02-20) to Mary Smith Cranch

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. 73

A quotation from Samuel Johnson

That every man would be rich if a wish could obtain riches, is a position which I believe few will contest, at least in a nation like ours, in which commerce has kindled a universal emulation of wealth, and in which money receives all the honours which are the proper right of knowledge and of virtue.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
Essay (1759-09-08), The Idler, No. 73

Alors que s'ouvre l'examen du budget 2026, une niche fiscale va revenir dans le débat : celle dont bénéficient les armateurs. Depuis 2003, les compagnies de transport maritime, à commencer par le géant marseillais CMA CGM, ne paient pas d'impôt sur les sociétés. En…

Peur chez les riches entrepreneurs après les enlèvements parmi les leurs: "Aujourd’hui, réussir en France, que ce soit dans les cryptoactifs ou ailleurs, c’est se coller une cible dans le dos et on nous répond qu'on l'a un peu cherché".
