    By Francois Duc De La Rochefoucauld:

    54.—The contempt of riches in philosophers was only a hidden desire to avenge their merit upon the injustice of fortune, by despising the very goods of which fortune had deprived them; it was a secret to guard themselves against the degradation of poverty, it was a back way by which to arrive at that distinction which they could not gain by riches.

    122.—If we conquer our passions it is more from their weakness than from our strength.
