I'm a man among men! I take my stroll bareheaded and owe no man a copper cent.

I never had a summons in my life and no one ever said to me, in the forum, pay me what you owe me.
I've bought a few acres and saved up a few dollars and I feed twenty bellies and a dog.

I ransomed my bedfellow so no one could wipe his hands on her bosom; a thousand dinars it cost me, too.

I was chosen priest of Augustus without paying the fee, and I hope that I won't need to blush in my grave after I'm dead.

But you're so busy that you can't look behind you; you can spot a louse on someone else, all right, but you can't see the tick on yourself.
