“To realise from what troubles you yourself are free is joy indeed. But this is the greatest joy of all: to stand aloof in a quiet citadel, stoutly fortified by the teachings of the wise, and to gaze down from that elevation on others wandering aimlessly in a vain search for the way of life, pitting their wits one against another, disputing for precedence, struggling night and day with unstinted effort to scale the pinnacles of wealth and power. The greatest wealth is to live content with little, for there is never want where the mind is satisfied”. Lucretius, the Roman Epicurean philosopher
