Quotation
Quid, quod paupere cotidie moriente oppressione, fame, frigore, iniuria amicum tibi excolis aurum, custodis argentum, vestem pretiosam ornamentaque superba et supervacanea pro sacrosancto habes sicut idolum, te per momenta componis, dives in publico, ditior in secreto, nec intelligis, quia homini inopia morienti tantis opibus qui cum possit subvenire non subvenit, ipse eum videtur occidere? O quantarum neces animarum in phaleris pendent ornatae matronae! Ornamentum cuius unum si soluas in pretium distribuasque necessitatibus singulorum, ex eorum respiratione cognoscis, quantorum malo ille constat ornatus.
