From the Ballade of Good Counsel

Flee from the crowd to dwell with truthfulness;
Be satisfied with what you have, although it may be small:
To hoard brings hate, to climb brings dizziness;
The crowd has envy, and success blinds all;
Be happy with what to your lot may fall;
Work well yourself to counsel others clear;
And Truth shall make you free, there is no fear!

Geoffrey Chaucer
