It Takes Strong Legs to Carry Luxury
Unknown artist
Being short of money may be unpleasant, but having too much of it causes its own problems. This drawing is a literal illustration of an Old Dutch saying, which translates as: ‘It takes strong legs to carry luxury’. Moral strength is needed to be able to support the burden of worldly riches.
