Be, As Many Now Are, Luxurious To Yourself, Parsimonious To Your Friends. [lat., Esto, Ut Nunc Multi, Dives Tibi Pauper Amicis.]

The Love Of Pelf Increases With The Pelf. [lat., Crescit Amor Nummi Quantum Ipsa Pecunia Crescit.]

They Do Not Easily Rise Whose Abilities Are Repressed By Poverty At Home. [lat., Haud Facile Emergunt Quorum Virtutibus Obstat Res Angusta Domi.]
