Edmund Spenser Quote

It is the mynd, that maketh good or ill,That maketh wretch or happie, rich or poore:For some, that hath abundance at his will,Hath not enough, but wants in greatest store;And other, that hath litle, askes no more,But in that litle is both rich and wise.For wisedome is most riches; fooles thereforeThey are, which fortunes doe by vowes deuize,Sith each vnto himselfe his life may fortunize.
