    Jupiter has placed upon us two wallets. Hanging behind each
    person's back he has given one full of his own faults; in front
    he has hung a heavy one full of other people's.
    [Lat., Peras imposuit Jupiter nobis duas.
    Propriis repletam vitiis post tergum dedit;
    Alienis ante pectus supendit gravem.]
