法律像蛛网，蚊蝇无处逃，
大虫破网出，法外乐逍遥。

Laws like to Cobwebs catch small Flies,
Great ones break thro' before your eyes.

怪哉，靠谎言为生的人，却难以欺骗自己。

Strange, that he who lives by Shifts, can seldom shift himself.

伤痛之处易受磨难，骄傲的人常遭冒犯。

As sore places meet most rubs, proud folks meet most affronts.

贪婪和快乐从未谋面，它们怎能相互了解。

Avarice and Happiness never saw each other, how then shou'd they become acquainted.

常等天上掉馅饼，挨饥受饿是常事。

He that waits upon Fortune, is never sure of a Dinner.
