1. Auro Loquente nihil Collet quævis Ratio.
It. L'argento è un buon passeporto
Esp. Quien dinero tiene, haze lo que quiere
Ing. Money is welcome every where
Against money or a bribe, reason or eloquence are of little avail, an apothegm no where more known or acknowledged than in this country, where, according to a saying imputed to Sir Robert Walpole, every man has its price. L' argento è un buon passeporto, money is a good passport, and Quien dinero tiene, haze lo que quiere, he who has money has friends, fame, and whatever he pleases: we are not therefore single in the homage we pay to it, and money, we say, is welcome every where. Ovid also long since, addressing himself to it, said

–––«Quid non mortalia pectora cogis,
Auri sacra fames».

What atrocities will not the cursed thirst after gold impel men to commit!
