Plautus on Business

← All quotes by Plautus

2 quotes

It is wretched business to be digging a well just as thirst is mastering you.

Who wishes to give himself an abundance of business let him equip these two things, a ship and a woman. For no two things involve more business, if you have begun to fit them out. Nor are these two things ever sufficiently adorned, nor is any excess of adornment enough for them.
