Believe not much them that seem to despise riches; for they despise them
that despair of them; and none are worse when they come to them. Be not
penny-wise; riches have wings, and sometimes they fly away of
themselves, sometimes they must be set flying to bring in more.
-- Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626)
