TCF Quoteboard: Aristotle on Wealth

Here, another gem from Aristotle, who helps to shed light upon just how impoverished we are here in the Western world. (I can see why St. Thomas Aquinas so loved this guy.)

All in all, wealth consists more in use than in possession; for the actualization of the potentialities of such things and their use is wealth.

—On Rhetoric,
