Never wrestle with a strong man nor bring a rich man to court. For rich and poor alike the womb is equally warm. To the patient man will come all the riches of the world. People lend only to the rich. Marry for money, my little sonny, a rich man’s joke is always funny. A rich child often sits in a poor mother’s lap. He who has nothing to lose is rich. The beggar is not afraid of the drawbacks of being rich. Knowledge is better than riches. No one is either rich or poor who has not helped himself to be so. He is rich who owes nothing.
