He is of the race of Johnny Van Cleeve, who would always much rather have than give, [326]

He is out of danger who rings the alarm-bell, [202], [222]

He is past preaching to who does not care to do well, [21]

He is rich enough who is contented, [166]

He is rich enough who owes nothing, [17], [97]

He is rich enough who does not want, [73]

He is so wise, that he goes upon the ice three days before it freezes, [327]

He is the devil’s valet, he does more than he is ordered, [11]

He is the wisest man who does not think himself so, [33]

He is the world’s master who despises it, its slave who prizes it, [97]
