It is not easy for men to rise whose qualities are thwarted by poverty.

Few tyrants go down to the infernal regions by a natural death.

Men who ape the saint and play the sinner.

Rare indulgence produces greater pleasure.

The man whose purse is empty can cheerfully sing before the robber.

It is sheer folly when all is gone to lose even one's passage money.

The love of money grows as the money itself grows.
