Fragment 34

1

The treasures of Croesus and Cinyras we shall condemn as the last degree of poverty. One man and one alone shall we consider rich, the man who has acquired the ability to want for nothing always and everywhere.1

Musonius Rufus, Lectures and Fragments, Fragment 34, translated by Cora E. Lutz (1947). The Stoic Library.
