Christopher Marlowe on money

I am Envy. I cannot read and therefore wish all books burned.

Was this the face that launch’d a thousand ships,
And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?
Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss!

Now will I show myself to have more of the serpent than the dove; that is, more knave than fool.

A penny saved is a penny earned.

Benjamin Franklin1706–1790Preface, Poor Richard’s Almanack (1758)
