"In prosperous fortunes be modest & wise,
The greatest may fall, and the lowest may rise;
But insolent people that fall in disgrace,
Are wretched & nobody pities their case."

That book is worth your $5 man. By the way, here's another one. :thumbsup

"He that lives upon hope will die fasting"

--also from him.
