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.

For I know that many good things have happened to many, when least expected; and that many hopes have been disappointed.
