He Who Has Silver Is Happy
Money, grain, livestock—and apparently one very tired rancher.
Thousands of years ago, the Sumerians preserved an observation about prosperity that still sounds remarkably familiar to anyone who has ever been responsible for animals:
“He who has silver is happy. He who has grain feels comfortable. But he who has livestock cannot sleep.”
Silver can buy things. Grain can provide security. Livestock, however, can get sick, escape, make strange noises at 2:00 in the morning, or simply give you something new to worry about.
Some parts of ranch life apparently haven't changed much in four thousand years.
English translation:
“He who has silver is happy. He who has grain feels comfortable. But he who has livestock cannot sleep.”
Sumerian Proverb • Anonymous ETCSL Collection 3 • Proverb 3.23 Parallel: Collection 22 • Lines 284–286 Attested at Ur • UET 6/2 265 • Lines 2–3
The original cuneiform takes center stage in this WSR Tees design, with the English translation beneath it—ancient wisdom with a particularly familiar ring for farmers, ranchers, and anybody else whose animals have ever decided that bedtime was merely a suggestion.
