A Traveler Must Have The Back Of An Ass To Bear All

HomeFortune CookiesMiscellaneous Collections

A traveler must have the back of an ass to bear all,
a tongue like the tail of a dog to flatter all,
the mouth of a hog to eat what is set before him,
the ear of a merchant to hear all and say nothing.
-- Thomas Nashe (1567-1601)
