Increasing wealth is attended by care and by the desire of greater increase.

There are faults we would fain pardon.

You will have written exceptionally well if, by skilful arrangement of your words, you have made an ordinary one seem original.

The man who is just and resolute will not be moved from his settled purpose, either by the misdirected rage of his fellow citizens, or by the threats of an imperious tryant.

Not treasured wealth, nor the consul's lictor, can dispel the mind's bitter conflicts and the cares that flit, like bats, about your fretted roofs.

The same night awaits us all.

Do not try to find out - we're forbidden to know - what end the gods have in store for me, or for you.
