Your Wealth Is Where Your Friends Are

It Is The Nature Of The Unfortunate To Be Spiteful, And To Envy Those Who Are Well To Do.

We Should Try To Succeed By Merit, Not By Favor. He Who Does Well Will Always Have Patrons Enough. [lat., Virtute Ambire Oportet, Non Favitoribus. Sat Habet Favitorum Semper, Qui Recte Facit.]

It Is A Bitter Disappointment When You Have Sown Benefits, To Reap Injuries.

In Grasping At Uncertainties We Lost That Which Is Certain.

The Fool Too Late, His Substance Eaten Up, Reckons The Cost.
