He who has lost his money-belt will go where you wish.

Those who go overseas find a change of climate, not a change of soul.

Who has self-confidence will lead the rest.

Naked I seek the camp of those who desire nothing.

He will be loved when dead, who was envied when he was living.

A crafty knave needs no broker.
