Are you famiiliar with the Dead Can Dance album "Into the Labyrinth"?
There is a song entitled "How fortunate the man with none".
Here are some snippets of some verses and their punchline at the end of each verse:
"You saw sagacious Solomon
You know what came of him"
...
"It's wisdom that had brought him to this state
How fortunate the man with none"
"You saw courageous Caesar next
You know what he became
They deified him in his life
Then had him murdered just the same"
...
"It's courage that had brought him to that state
How fortunate the man with none"
"You heard of honest Socrates
The man who never lied They weren't so grateful as you'd think
Instead the rulers fixed to have him tried"
...
"It's honesty that brought him to that state
How fortunate the man with none"
So, Yes! How fortunate are you!
