| Plautus
Consider the little mouse, how sagacious an animal it is which never entrusts its life to one hole only. Each man reaps on his own farm. He whom the gods favour dies in youth. If you are wise, be wise; keep what goods the gods provide you. In the one hand he is carrying a stone, while he shows the bread in the other. Not by years but by disposition is wisdom acquired. Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend. Nothing is there more friendly to a man than a friend in need. Patience is the best remedy for every trouble. There are occasions when it is undoubtedly better to incur loss than to make gain. There's no such thing, you know, as picking out the best woman: it's only a question of comparative badness, brother. These things are not for the best, nor as I think they ought to be; but still they are better than that which is downright bad. Things which you do not hope happen more frequently than things which you do hope. To blow and swallow at the same moment is not easy. What is yours is mine, and all mine is yours. |
