Philippians 4:11
Douay-Rheims
I speak not as it were for want. For I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, to be content therewith.
Augustine of Hippo
All sorts of people indeed can suffer poverty, but to "know how to suffer poverty" is a mark of greatness. Likewise, who is there who may not abound? But to "know how to abound" belongs to none but those who are not corrupted by abundance.
