When the well is dry we know the worth of water.
If you would know the value of money, try to borrow.
Fond pride of dress is sure a very curse.
Ere fancy you consult, consult your purse.
Pride is as loud a beggar as want, and a great deal more saucy.
Vessels large may venture more, but little boats should keep the shore.
Pride that shines on vanity sups on contempt.
Pride breakfasted with plenty, dined with poverty, and supped with infamy.
What is a butterfly? At best
He's but a caterpillar dress'd;
The gaudy fop's his picture just.
The second vice is lying; the first is running in debt.
Lying rides upon debt's back.
