نحن جميعًا أغنى مما نظنّ، لكنّنا نُعلَّم الاستدانة والتسوّل، ونُربّى على استعمال ما لغيرنا أكثر من استعمال ما لنا.

“We are all of us richer than we think we are; but we are taught to borrow and to beg, and brought up more to make use of what is another's than of our own.”Michel de Montaigne — All the Essays of Michael Seigneur de Montaigne (1872)
