People who are always taking care of their health are like misers, who are hoarding a treasure which they have never spirit enough to enjoy.

I keep my friends as misers do their treasure, because, of all the things granted us by wisdom, none is greater or better than friendship.

"You never enjoy the world aright, till the Sea itself floweth in your veins, till you are clothed with the heavens, and crowned with the stars: and perceive yourself to be the sole heir of the whole world, and more than so, because men are in it who are every one sole heirs as well as you. Till you can sing and rejoice and delight in God, as misers do in gold, and Kings in sceptres, you never enjoy the world.

Were all the geniuses of history to focus on this single theme, they could never fully express their bafflement at the darkness of the human mind. No person would give up even an inch of their estate, and the slightest dispute with a neighbor can mean hell to pay; yet we easily let others encroach on our lives-worse, we often pave the way for those who will take it over. No person hands out their money to passersby, but to how many do each of us hand out our lives! We're tight-fisted with property and money, yet think too little of wasting time, the one thing about which we should all be the toughest misers.

People who are always taking care of their health are like misers who are hoarding a treasure which they have never spirit enough to enjoy.

People who overly take care of their health are like misers. They hoard up a treasure which they never enjoy.

I keep my friends as misers do their treasure because of all the things granted us by wisdom none is greater or better than friendship.
