ELO (1905) [5:11] Wenn das Gut sich mehrt, so mehren sich, die davon zehren; und welchen Nutzen hat dessen Besitzer, als das Anschauen seiner Augen? -

РСП (66 кн.) Умножается имущество, умножаются и потребляющие его; и какое благо для владеющего им: разве только смотреть своими глазами?
НРП Когда увеличивается имущество, увеличивается и число нахлебников. В чем польза его владельцу, кроме как смотреть на него?
Заокская (Кулаков) Больше добра — больше нахлебников, а хозяину какая польза? Разве что глядеть на всё на это…
СП (БЛ) Чем больше у человека богатства, тем больше он тратит на «друзей», так что богатый на деле ничего не приобретает. Единственное, для чего годится богатство, — это смотреть на него.
