Some Men Make Fortunes, But

But Grant The Wrath Of Heaven Be Great, 'tis Slow. [lat., Ut Sit Magna Tamen Certe Lenta Ira Deorum Est.]

A Man Who Has Nothing Can Whistle In A Robber's Face.

Cheerless Poverty Has No Harder Trial Than This, That It Makes Men The Subject Of Ridicule. [lat., Nil Habet Infelix Paupertas Durius In Se Quam Quod Ridiculos Homines Facit.]

A Lucky Man Is Rarer Than A White Crow.

Led On By Impulse, And Blind And Ungovernable Desires.
