I am a mortal; this very thing is the greatest cause of sorrow in life.
ἄνθρωπός εἰμι, τοῦτο δ᾿ αὐτὸ τῷ βίῳ
πρόφασιν μεγίστην εἰς τὸ λυπεῖσθαι φέρει.
πρόφασιν μεγίστην εἰς τὸ λυπεῖσθαι φέρει.
Original text (Ancient Greek)
More quotes by Diphilus
Poverty united to bad conduct utterly destroys and upturns the life of man.
No man's more fortunate than he who's poor,
Since for the worse his fortune cannot change.
