Proverbs, the 1st: Better To Be Rich Than Poor

Better Off Rich

A rich physician feels the pulse of a poor, sick patient; he tells him he is fine. Coloured stipple engraving by J.J. after E.J. Pigal, c. 1840.

It’s better to be rich than poor.

The poor feed off of each other like animals.

Not only do the poor get it in the ass from the rich, they also get it from each other.

The rich also get it from each other, but are less apt to get it from the poor.
