Desire is not appeased by enjoyment, as fire fed with oil becomes more intense.
No one has ever more than enough rice, barley, gold, cattle or women.
Abandon therefore inordinate desire.
When a mind finds neither good nor ill in all objects but looks on all with an equal eye, then every thing yields its pleasure.
The wise are filled with happiness, who escape from desire, which the feeble minded can with difficulty relinquish and which grows not old with age.
The hair becomes gray, the teeth fall out, mankind advances in years but the love of wealth, the love of life are not impaired by age.
