Kings have long arms, but misfortune
longer. Let none think themselves out of her reach.
国王的手长，但不幸的手更长。谁也别自以为它触及不到你。
The pround hate pride—in others.
骄傲者讨厌骄傲──不过是别人的。
Pride is as loud a beggar as want,
and a great deal more saucy.
骄傲就像贫困，是个吵闹的乞丐，且更无礼。
Nice eaters seldom meet with a good
dinner.
挑食者难遇美餐。
Pray don't burn my house to roast your
eggs.
请别烧我的房子来烤你的鸡蛋。
