Anyone who is engaged in really important things is
very simple because he does not have time to create unnecessary things.
Every desire
abates, and every vice grows after it is satisfied.
— Henri Amiel
Every new desire
is the beginning of a new wish, the beginning of a new sadness.
— Voltaire
Pleasure, luxury
— these things you call happiness, but I think that to wish nothing is the happiness
of God, and when you wish to have only small things, then you make yourself
closer to this divine and high happiness.
— Socrates
Nature requires
small things; the existing law requires many excessive things.
— Lucius Annaeus
Seneca
People can live without need and without jealousy
only when they lead a life of moderation.
