Martial
Neither fear your death's day, nor long for it.
Menander
The man who has never been flogged has never been taught.
He only lives, who living enjoys life
Riches often cover a multitude of woes.
Whom the Gods love dies young.
We live, not as we wish to, but as we can.
At times discretion should be thrown aside and with the foolish we should play the fool.
The truth sometimes not sought comes forth to the light.
I call a fig a fig, a spade a spade.
A fortunate man must nobly bear his blessings.
Who leads an austere life has a cold heart towards others.
All that defiles a man comes from within
When you would say some evil of your neighbor, first think of all the evil in you.
No man while sinning sees his sins for what it is. Later he sees.
If a man can change a God to that which he desires, then he himself is greater than the God.
Think like a free man and you will not be a slave.
It is not white hair that engenders wisdom.
Mimnermus
What, then, is life if love the golden is gone?
Orpheus
I am a child of Earth and starry Heaven, but my race is of Heaven alone.
Ovid
If God be my friend I cannot be wretched.
It is expediant that Gods should exist: therefore let us believe that the Gods exist.
The same God who is propitiated by the blood of a hundred bulls is also propiated by the smallest offering of incense.
The Gods have their own rules.
Note too that a faithful study of the liberal arts humanizes character and permits it not to be cruel.
