Men can easily bear hardship if there is no injury with it; and they can bear even an injury, unless they have to face insults also.

— Caecilius Statius

Facile aerumnam ferre possum, si inde abest iniuria:
Etiam iniuriam, nisi contra constat contumelia.

More quotes by Caecilius Statius

Man to man is a god if he knows his job.

Capital crimes are being committed in this State; for there's a whore who doesn't want to take money from a love-sick sweetheart.

For the worst of foes are those that have bright faces, gloomy hearts.

He sows the seed of trees that they may be a profit to another age.

Live as you may, since you can't as you'd like.
