Enough

This is something to consider whenever we find ourselves grasping or craving or coveting:

Nothing is enough for the person to whom enough is too little.

-- Epicurus

It is a common misconception, by the way, that Epicurus preached self-indulgence. He did not. He actually believed that the greatest and most reliable pleasure comes from moderation.
