Roman - Statesman
106 BC - 43 BC

With the greater part of rich people, the chief enjoyment of riches consists in the parade of riches, which in their eye is never so complete as when they appear to possess those decisive marks of opulence which nobody can possess but themselves.

Adam Smith

Content and Riches seldom meet together, Riches take thou, contentment I had rather.

Benjamin Franklin

Riches for the most part are hurtful to them that possess them.

Plutarch

Digital piracy needs to be addressed. Without content protection, investment in content can't be supported. We need secure distribution. If you (telecommunications equipment and software makers) help us, we will make it easier for you to distribute our content.

Bob Iger

Sound health is the greatest of gifts; contentedness, the greatest of riches; trust, the greatest of qualities.

Gautama Buddha

Every wise, just, and mild government, by rendering the condition of its subjects easy and secure, will always abound most in people, as well as in commodities and riches.

David Hume

Envy is the most universal passion. We only pride ourselves on the qualities we possess, or think we possess; but we envy the pretensions we have, and those which we have not, and do not even wish for. We envy the greatest qualities and every trifling advantage. We envy the most ridiculous appearance or affectation of superiority. We envy folly and conceit; nay, we go so far as to envy whatever confers distinction of notoriety, even vice and infamy.

William Hazlitt

These riches are possess'd, but not enjoy'd!

Alexander Pope

On Facebook, the definition of great content is not the content that makes the most sales, but the content that people most want to share with others.

Gary Vaynerchuk

If you knew the user, you'd let them in. But, the content could contain a lot of dangerous stuff, even if you know the person using that content, you have to check what's inside there. That's where Fortinet started, trying to go deep inside of content, or inside an application to make sure those were secure.

Ken Xie

There is nothing wrong with men possessing riches. The wrong comes when riches possess men.

Billy Graham

What is it worth to possess the riches of the world, when a man comes to face Eternity?

Charles Studd

He who needs riches least, enjoys riches most.

Epicurus

Truly, this earth is a trophy cup for the industrious man. And this rightly so, in the service of natural selection. He who does not possess the force to secure his Lebensraum in this world, and, if necessary, to enlarge it, does not deserve to possess the necessities of life. He must step aside and allow stronger peoples to pass him by.

Adolf Hitler

Photographs are a way of imprisoning reality, understood as recalcitrant, inaccessible; of making it stand still. One can't possess reality, one can possess (and be possessed by) images — as, according to Proust, most ambitious of voluntary prisoners, one can't possess the present but one can possessthe past.
