Pay what you owe, and you'll know
what's your own.
付清你所欠下的债,方知什么是自己的。
Some are justly laught at for keeping their money
foolishly, others for spending it idly: He is the greatest fool
that lays it out in a purchase of repentance.
有人愚蠢地把钱留着,有人却随意乱花,他们为人嘲笑理所应当——但用钱买后悔则是最大的傻瓜。
Avoid dishonest gain: No price can recompence the
pangs of vice.
拒绝不正当的利益:因邪恶所带来的痛苦无法用金钱补偿。
