Chapter 3 Paragraph- The Grass is Greener
The farmer, life and sailor's fortune often praise; the sailor often praises fortune and poet's life; the poet's life and farmer's field often praise. Allow philosophy to be stingy to men concerning money always think: considering much money, but a stingy man with much money is not satisfied.

Watch your genitives! The idea in this passage is that everyone idealizes the life 'of' someone else. Sort of a 'grass is always greener on the other side' statement.
