More quotes by Pliny the Elder
Why is it that we entertain the belief that for every purpose odd numbers are the most effectual?
It has become quite a common proverb that in wine there is truth.
When a building is about to fall down, all the mice desert it.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
