The Wife of Bath's Tale

"A person satisfied with poverty even without a shirt, lives wealthily. He who covets is the poorer man, desiring property he can never possess... Indeed, when one is low, it's poverty that will make one want to know both God and self. It magnifies, for through its lens a man sees whether friends are true." (pg. 37; lines 1185-1189, 1201-1204)
