But since man must needs fall short of what is worthy, I ask of you - as approaching it most nearly - piety, the wealth which is common to all and equal in my eyes, wherein the poorest may, if he be noble-minded, surpass the most illustrious. For this kind of glory depends upon purpose, not upon affluence.
- St Gregory the Theologian, Last Farewell 8
