Original text (Ancient Greek)
Kurnos, unless the gods deceive my mind,
That man is forging fetters for himself.
Ploutos, no wonder mortals worship you:
You are so tolerant of their sins!
Spend time on excellence, and love the right,
And don’t let shameful profit master you.
No higher prize is given to men than virtue;
None fairer can the wise man bear away.
All Theognis of Megara quotes →
I don't think that corporations are these big bogeymen that a lot of people paint them to be.
An artisan busies himself with his work for three hours each day and spends nine hours in study.
The rule of my life is to make business a pleasure and pleasure my business.
