"As for me, I would choose being sick over living in luxury, for being sick only harms the body, whereas luxury destroys both the body and soul, causing weakness and incapacity in the body, and lack of control and cowardice in the soul. What's more, luxury breeds injustice because it breeds greediness."
~ Musonius Rufus, Lectures, 20.95.14-17
