In view of the recent economic debacles, here are some Italian vignettes of wisdom to take to heart.
"Il denaro e un buon servo e un cattivo padrone." (Money is a good servant but a nasty master.)
"A rubar poco si va in galera, a rubar tanto si fa cariera." (Steal a little, go to jail; steal a lot, make a career of it.) This seems directed to the Wall Street honchos. :-)
"Uno sciocco e il suo denaro son presto separati." (A fool and his money are soon parted.)
"Quando si รจ in ballo, bisogna ballare." (In for a penny, in for a pound.)
