If you lend a person any money it becomes lost for any purpose as one's own. When you ask for it back again you may find a friend made an enemy by your kindness. If you begin to press still further either you must part with that which you have intrusted or else you must lose that friend.
—Plautus
A deadly viper once bit a hole snipe's hide; But 'twas the viper, not the snipe, that died.
