Art doesn't grow on trees

To man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail. 

There is an old Greek expression, it can't be translated,
but it goes something like, 
while my eyes are eating, my stomach is not considered. 

The merchant can't call the Greek police because a hungry
man is feasting with his 
eyes at the store window, can he? War! 

Ever see the Bugs Bunny cartoon where two men are starving
on an island and 
each sees the other as something good to eat? 

To poor man, perhaps every face is a dead presidents or the
face of Liberty or 
a coin.
