Worldly wealth is the Devil's bait; and those whose minds feed upon riches recede, in general, from real happiness, in proportion as their stores increase, as the moon, when she is fullest, is farthest from the sun.

  • -- Robert Burton 罗伯特·伯顿

世俗的财富是魔鬼的诱饵;一般来说,那些以财富为食的人会随着他们财富的增加而远离真正的幸福,就像月亮在它最圆的时候离太阳最远一样。
