“O blindness of the human mind! How each pushes on to the same death in his own way–the poor person when he unhappily seeks after wealth that happily he does not have, and the rich person when he does not think that he has wealth that he does have! In the one avarice burns, in the other it rages, in both it waxes, in neither does it die down.”
People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. 1 Timothy 6:9
Zeno of Verona (c. 300-371) in Tractate I.5.3.11, BRF 191.
