Seneca: Poverty is Free from Care

Seneca Money Quote saying riches often prevent men from gaining wisdom and poverty attends only to immediate needs. Seneca said:

Riches have shut off many a man from the attainment of wisdom; poverty is unburdened and free from care. When the trumpet sounds, the poor man knows that he is not being attacked; when there is a cry of “Fire,” he only seeks a way of escape, and does not ask what he can save
— Seneca
