 Nothing is so hard for those who abound in riches as to conceive how others can be in want. Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)

It was true then; it is true now. We should really show appreciation to those who come up with eternal wisdom.

The whole story is curious and uncommon, and abounds with incidents that fill the hearers with wonder and astonishment.

Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) The reasons many of us can be in want is their wanting in modesty in favor of wanting what they haven't earned and/or shouldn't want. But those who abound in riches have an ill-conceived reason for their wanting in/of the very same thing{s}.

Seems to me "Want" is clearly in want of a dictionary search.
