Titus Maccius Plautus Quotes
Laws are subordinate to custom. Let deeds match words. Man is not man, but a wolf to those he does not know. No blessing lasts forever. No guest is so welcome in a friend's house that he will not become a nuisance after three days. No man is wise enough by himself. Not by age but by capacity is wisdom acquired. Nothing is more wretched than the mind of a man conscious of guilt. Patience is the best remedy for every trouble. Persevere in virtue and diligence. 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. The evil that we know is best. The greatest talents often lie buried out of sight. The poor man who enters into a partnership with one who is rich makes a risky venture. Things we do not expect, happen more frequently than we wish. This is the great fault of wine; it first trips up the feet: it is a cunning wrestler. Where there are friends there is wealth. Wisdom is not attained by years, but by ability. You must spend money to make money. Your wealth is where your friends are.
