I have said virtue, wealth, and generosity, because a great man who is vicious will be a great example of vice, and a rich man who is not generous will be merely a miserly beggar; for the possessor of wealth is not made happy by possessing it, but by spending it, and not by spending as he pleases, but by knowing how to spend it well.
Dije virtudes, riquezas y liberalidades, porque el grande que fuere vicioso será vicioso grande, y el rico no liberal será un avaro mendigo; que al poseedor de las riquezas no le hace dichoso el tenerlas, sino el gastarlas, y no el gastarlas comoquiera, sino el saberlas bien gastar.
