How bitter it is to reap a harvest of evil for good that you have done!
Ut acerbum est, pro benefactis quom mali messem metas!

More quotes by Plautus
Nothing is more wretched than the mind of a man conscious of guilt.
One eyewitness weighs more than ten hearsays. Seeing is believing, all the world over.
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.
