Herodotus. Book 1, Chapter 33.
33. Such was the speech which Solon addressed to Croesus, a speech which brought him neither largess nor honor. The king saw him depart with much indifference, since he thought that a man must be an arrant (arrogant?) fool who made no account of present good, but bade men always wait and mark the end.
