What Aristotle actually said
- Aristotle Greek philosopher (384 to 322 BCE)
For though at first two oboli might be sufficient, yet when once it is become customary, they continually want something more, until they set no limits to their expectations; for it is the nature of our desires to be boundless, and many live only to gratify them.
