“Men are a thousand times more intent on becoming rich than on acquiring culture, though it is quite certain that what a man is contributes more to his happiness than what he has.”92 “A man who has no mental needs is called a Philistine”;93 he does not know what to do with his leisure—difficilis in otio quies;94 he searches greedily from place to place for new sensations; and at last he is conquered by that nemesis of the idle rich or the reckless voluptuary—ennui.
