Teaser Tuesday (29 March)

Teaser Tuesday again...and for the first time in a long time, I'm almost playing by the rules! ;-)

Let us completely drive away foul habits, as we would base men who have done us great harm for a long time.
The possession of the greatest riches does not resolve the agitation of the soul or give birth to remarkable joy -- nor does the honor and admiration of the crowd, nor any other of those things arising from unlimited desires. 

p. 81 and 85, The Essential Epicurus. Both of these are from his Vatican Sayings.

    Hehehe I get giddy when I follow the rules because I rarely do it. Once day I'm tempted to make my tesder something like "He saw a tree. It was green" LOL It's two sentences! You can see my teaser choices at The Bookish Snob Happy reading!

    I particularly like "The possession of the greatest riches does not resolve the agitation of the soul or give birth to remarkable joy" So perhaps that's where "money doesn't buy happiness" originated. Er-hem.

    My teaser is ...

Thank you for visiting! Because of some very clever spambots, I've had to start moderating comments more strictly, but they're approved throughout the day.
