| proverb |
little thieves are hanged but great ones escape; might goes before right; one law for the rich and another for the poor; possession is eleven points of the law, and they say there are but twelve; possession is nine – tenths of the law; possession is nine points of the law; possession is nine-tenths of the law; the great fish eat up the small; we hang little thieves and take off our hats to great ones; where force prevails, right perishes |
