66. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

No matter how much gold the bloviator surrounds himself with, or how much money he has, he will always be a trashy thug with no class.

He puts on external images but never has developed any class or integrity in his internal self. Inside himself, he is like his old buildings that looked glittery when built, but were made with shabby materials and short cuts so that they crumble without maintenance and are just a shell containing interior rot.
