We are ruined, not by what we really want
But by what we think we want;
Therefore never go abroad in search of your wants;
If they be real wants,
They will come home in search of you;
For he that buys what he does not want,
Will often want what he cannot buy.
--_Colton._

_The Source of Wants._--It is not from nature, but from education and
habits, that our wants are chiefly derived.
--_Fielding._

He cannot provide for the wants of others, whose own are numerous and
craving.
--_Plutarch._
