"* Juvenal, " Crescit amor nummi quantum ipsa pecunia crescit/'-f' Of the older philosophers, Diogenes called the amas- sers of enormous possessions "great paupers. "! He said, "they were like dropsical patients, fo...r the one was full of money, and the other was full of water, and both thirsted for more of that which was in the act of destroying them. " And Aristotle also says, that "to the avaricious man, money is the end, but it is not the bounds of his desires :"|| that "the poor man wants few things, the avaricious man all things. "^[ They were equally wise in their recommendations, that the way to enjoy our riches is to set bounds to our want of them. Plato recommends the proper measure of wealth, almost in the words of the prayer of Agar, "Give me neither poverty nor riches, feed me with food convenient for me ; lest I be full and deny Thee, and say, Who is the Lord, or lest I be poor and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
