Non sit grave pauperes esse

Securius divites erimus si scierimus quam non sit grave pauperes esse.


Ir turėdami turtų, būsime ramesni, kai žinosime, kad ne taip sunku būti vargšams.


We shall be rich with all the more comfort, if we once learn how far poverty is from being a burden.

Quomodo exeat, non quid efferat, quaere

Cum classicum cecinit, scit non se peti; cum aqua conclamata est, quomodo exeat, non quid efferat, quaerit.


Kai suskamba karo trimitas, varguolis žino, kad šis jo nekviečia; kai žmonės šaukia: “Potvynis!”, jis mąsto apie tai, kaip pačiam išeiti, o ne apie tai, ką išsinešti.


When the trumpet sounds, the poor man knows that he is not being attacked; when there is a cry of “Fire”, he only seeks a way of escape, and does not ask what he can save.

Pauper

Non qui parum habet, sed qui plus cupit, pauper est.


Skurdžius — ne tas, kuris mažai turi, bet tas, kuris trokšta daugiau turėti.


It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor.
