Nothing is said nowadays that has not been said before.
Nullum est jam dictum quod non dictum sit primus.

More quotes by Terence
There is nothing so easy but that it becomes difficult when you do it reluctantly.
It behooves a prudent person to make trial of everything before arms.
Do you fear to trust the word of a man, whose honesty you have seen in business?
By too much knowledge they bring it about that they know nothing.

Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.
Just at the age 'twixt boy and youth,
When thought is speech, and speech is truth.
