Zitat des Tages von Plautus:
The evil that we know is best.
Laws are subordinate to custom.
The poor man who enters into a partnership with one who is rich makes a risky venture.
Nothing is more wretched than the mind of a man conscious of guilt.
Let us celebrate the occasion with wine and sweet words.
This is the great fault of wine; it first trips up the feet: it is a cunning wrestler.
If you have overcome your inclination and not been overcome by it, you have reason to rejoice.
You must spend money to make money.
Patience is the best remedy for every trouble.
Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.
He who seeks for gain, must be at some expense.
Property is unstable, and youth perishes in a moment. Life itself is held in the grinning fangs of Death, Yet men delay to obtain release from the world. Alas, the conduct of mankind is surprising.
Good merchandise, even hidden, soon finds buyers.
A contented mind is the best source for trouble.
Your wealth is where your friends are.
How great in number are the little minded men.
Man is not man, but a wolf to those he does not know.
There's no such thing, you know, as picking out the best woman: it's only a question of comparative badness, brother.
Flight without feathers is not easy.
For nobody is curious, who isn't malevolent.
Wisdom is not attained by years, but by ability.
Courage easily finds its own eloquence.
Where there are friends there is wealth.
Courage is what preserves our liberty, safety, life, and our homes and parents, our country and children. Courage comprises all things.
It is well for one to know more than he says.
Things we do not expect, happen more frequently than we wish.
The greatest talents often lie buried out of sight.
Every man, however wise, needs the advice of some sagacious friend in the affairs of life.
He whom the gods love dies young, while he is in health, has his senses and his judgments sound.
'He means well' is useless unless he does well.
Courage in danger is half the battle.
A mouse never entrusts his life to only one hole.
Not by age but by capacity is wisdom acquired.
Keep what you have; the known evil is best.
It well becomes a young man to be modest.
A mouse does not rely on just one hole.
