power
DIVIDE and rule
GOD is high above, and the tsar is far away
KINGS have long arms KNOWLEDGE is power MIGHT is right
MONEY is power
MONEY talks
the MOUNTAINS are high, and the emperor is far away
POWER corrupts
SPEAK softly and carry a big stick
the VOICE of the people is the voice of Godpragmatism see also necessity
the BEST of men are but men at best
it doesn’t matter if a CAT is black or white..
if you have to LIVE in the river, it is best to be friends with the crocodile
you cannot make an OMELETTE without breaking eggspride
set a BEGGAR on horseback..
where MACGREGOR sits is the head of the table
the NAIL that sticks up gets hammered down
PRIDE feels no pain
PRIDE goes before a fall
up like a ROCKET..procrastination
DELAYS are dangerous
there is LUCK in leisure
PROCRASTINATION is the thief of time
never PUT off till tomorrow what you can do today
TOMORROW never comesprofessions see trades and skills
property
you BUY land, you buy stones..
what you HAVE, hold
when HOUSE and land are gone..
LEARNING is better than house and land
POSSESSION is nine points of the law
