Somewhere or other I met with a set of mottoes about gold, which I copied out, and here they are: A vain man's motto is, "Win gold and wear it." A generous man's motto is, "Win gold and share it." A miserly man's motto is, "Win gold and spare it." A profligate man's motto is, "Win gold and spend it." A banker's motto is, "Win gold and lend it." A gambler's motto is "Win gold and lose it." A wise man's motto is, "Win gold and use it."
