Tu si animum vicisti potius quam animus te est quod gaudias.

More quotes by Plautus

Oh, are not the pleasures in life, in this daily round, trifling compared with the pains!
He whom the gods love dies young, whilst he is full of health, perception, and judgment.

Attempt the end, and never stand to doubt;
Nothing's so hard but search will find it out.
All theory is against the freedom of the will; all experience for it.
