So saith Solomon, Where much is, there are many to consume it; and what hath the owner, but the sight of it with his eyes? The personal fruition in any man, cannot reach to feel great riches: there is a custody of them; or a power of dole, and donative of them; or a fame of them; but no solid use to the owner. --Essayes or Counsels, Civill and Morall <https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Essays_%28Francis_Bacon%29> _______________________________________________ Wikipedia Daily Article mailing list.
