Language is fossil poetry.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Essays, The Poet.
Acquisition
The wish to acquire more is admittedly a very natural and common thing; and when men succeed in this they are always praised rather than condemned. But when they lack the ability to do so and yet want to acquire more at all costs, they deserve condemnation for their mistakes.
Niccolò Machiavelli (1469–1527),in The Prince (1514), Ch. III, ‘Composite Principalities’
Acquisition
To whose gain? [Cui bono]
Marcus Tullius Cicero, in Pro Milone, ch. 12, sct. 32 (44-43 BC)
