Those that much covet are with gain so fond, for what they have not, that which they possess they scatter and unloose it from their bond, and so, by hoping more, they have but less; or, gaining more, the profit of excess is but to surfeit, and such griefs sustain, that they prove bankrupt in this poor-rich gain.

Those That Much Covet Are With Gain

William Shakespeare
Those that much covet are with gain so fond, for what they have not, that which they possess they scatter and unloose it from their bond, and so, by hoping more, they have but less; or, gaining more, the profit of excess is but to surfeit, and such griefs sustain, that they prove bankrupt in this poor-rich gain.

More From William Shakespeare

If the nation can issue a dollar bond it can issue a dollar bill. the element that makes the bond good makes the bill good also. the difference between the bond and the bill is that the bond lets the money broker collect twice the amount of the bond and an additional 20%. whereas the currency, the honest sort provided by the constitution pays nobody but those who contribute in some useful way. it is absurd to say our country can issue bonds and cannot issue currency. both are promises to pay, but one fattens the usurer and the other helps the people.

If you covet fame, if you covet all the superficial accolades, you're gonna be miserable 'cause you're never going to get enough praise. if you covet contributing something substantive to movies, music, literature, then you won't be unhappy.
Unhappy Causes Literature
When the rich plunder the poor of his rights, it becomes an example for the poor to plunder the rich of his property, for the rights of the one are as much property to him as wealth is property to the other, and the little all is as dear as the much. it is only by setting out on just principles that men are trained to be just to each other; and it will always be found, that when the rich protect the rights of the poor, the poor will protect the property of the rich. but the guarantee, to be effectual, must be parliamentarily reciprocal.

That was always my experience-a poor boy in a rich town; a poor boy in a rich boy's school; a poor boy in a rich man's club at princeton .... however, i have never been able to forgive the rich for being rich, and it has colored my entire life and works.

For as a surfeit of the sweetest things the deepest loathing to the stomach brings, or as tie heresies that men do leave are hated most of those they did deceive, so thou, my surfeit and my heresy, of all be hated, but the most of me!
