  1. 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)]

  2. 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

  3. 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.
