"The good life"

“THE good life does not consist in renouncing wealth, though that is one method of finding it. Easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven—the impossibility is not alleged but the rarity is emphasized.”

~St. Thomas Aquinas: de Perfectione Vitae Spiritualis, 7.
