-500 AD·Qufu, China
Leonardo da Vinci·1500That is not riches, which may be lost; virtue is our true good and the true reward of its possessor. That cannot be lost; that never deserts us, but when life leaves us. As to property and external riches, hold them with trembling; they often leave their possessor in contempt, and mocked at for having lost them.
Confucius·-500 ADWealth and honor are what every man desires. But if they have been obtained in violation of moral principles, they must not be kept.
Marcus Aurelius·170 ADNever esteem anything as of advantage to you that will make you break your word or lose your self-respect.
