Riches

RICHES.—'I cannot call riches better than the baggage of virtue; the Roman word is better, Impedimenta; for as the baggage is to an army, so are riches to virtue; it cannot be spared nor left behind, but it hindereth the march; yea, and the care of it sometimes loseth or disturbeth the victory. Of great riches there is no real use, except it be in the distribution; the rest is but conceit.'—Bacon.
