Much is wanting to those who seek or covet much.
Twixt hope and fear, anxiety and anger.
We get blows and return them.
He who has lost his money-belt will go where you wish.
He who is always in a hurry to be wealthy and immersed in the study of augmenting his fortune has lost the arms of reason and deserted the post of virtue.
The lofty pine is oftenest shaken by the winds; High towers fall with a heavier crash; And the lightning strikes the highest mountain.
