HELL'S PROVERBS (Engr.VV's Version)

The early bird catches the worm, but gets caught first;  
better late than dead and in the hunter’s belly!  
 
Haste makes waste and slow but sure are both unproductive,  
yet actions that have no positive or good results  
are better than no actions at all.  
 
It’s better to sow some bad seeds to reap some fortunes  
than to sow secrecy to reap doubts and paranoia.  
 
The Vegas Strip and K Street in DC have some similarities:  
both roads could lead to riches and magnets for prostitutes.  
 
The pleasures of Las Vegas and the grandeur that was Rome—  
both have a striking resemblance to each other,  
except what happens in the Sin City stays there.  
 
They who hate peeping Toms would never understand  
domestic spying, as a modest encroachment on privacy.  
 
Thieves who rob the banks go to jail,  
while thieves who rob the taxpayer’s money  
go to Congress and the Senate.  
 
The rapist who rape only one person is better  
than a politician who rape the whole country.  
(It's not that I glorify rape.)  
 
Gone are the days of the statesmen  
who put the people’s interest first before theirs.  
What we have now are dirty and corrupt politicians  
who cater to their own selfish motives,  
the only good ones are those that are dead!
