“Hence Solomon says, "The turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them." Hence Paul admonishes, saying, "They that buy, as though they possessed not; and they that use this world, as though they used it not." So may the things that are supplied to us be of service to us out…”
Gregory the Dialogist, 7th c. — The Book of Pastoral Rule, Part 3, Chapter 26
