Men who only live to eat.

No man becomes bad all at once.

A man's word Is believed just to the extent of the wealth in his coffers stored.

For the gods, instead of what is most pleasing, will give what is most proper. Man is dearer to them than he is to himself. [Lat., Nam pro jucundis aptissima quaeque dabunt di, Carior est illis homo quam sibi.]

To eat off another man's plate. [To live an another's expense.]

Man, wretched man, whene'er he stoops to sin, Feels, with the act, a strong remorse within.

Fond man! though all the heroes of your line Bedeck your halls, and round your galleries shine In proud display; yet take this truth from me-- Virtue alone is true nobility!

The greatest hardship of poverty is that it tends to make men ridiculous.

Of the woes Of unhappy poverty, none is more difficult to bear Than that it heaps men with ridicule.
