Quote #45 on Economic Struggle Quotes >> Class Warfare and Exclusion
“Or fame or life,
Which do you hold more dear?
Or life or wealth,
To which would you adhere?
Keep life and lose those other things;
Keep them and lose your life:--which brings
Sorrow and pain more near?Thus we may see,
Who cleaves to fame
Rejects what is more great;
Who loves large stores
Gives up the richer state.Who is content
Needs fear no shame.
Who knows to stop
Incurs no blame.
From danger free
Long live shall he.”
