You must spend money, if you wish to make money.
The fool too late, his substance eaten up, reckons the cost.
If you do anything well, gratitude is lighter than a feather; if you give offense in anything, people's wrath is as heavy as lead.
The greatest talents often lie buried out of sight.
The gods play games with men as balls.
That's a miserable and cursed word, to say I had, when what I have is nothing.
