The Latin phrase

“Populus me sibilat, at mihi plaudo; Ipse domi simul ac nummos contemplor in arca"

translates to

"The public hisses at me, but I applaud myself in my own house, and simultaneously contemplate the money in my chest."

This popped out reading some Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

In the meantime you must make yourself contented by the consciousness of success, like the Roman miser—

“‘Populus me sibilat, at mihi plaudo
Ipse domi simul ac nummos contemplor in arca.’”
