Better belly burst than good liquor be lost.

Summary

It implies that it is preferable to have excess and enjoy the pleasures of life, even if it leads to negative consequences, rather than letting something valuable go unused or unappreciated. This perspective emphasizes the importance of indulgence and maximizing enjoyment in the face of potential risks or sacrifices.

How could we forget those ancient myths that stand at the beginning of all races, the myths about dragons that at the last moment are transformed into princesses? Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage.
