For life is only life when blessed with health.
Live thy life as it were spoil and pluck the joys that fly.
You crystal break, for fear of breaking it: Careless and careful hands like faults commit.
Every bird that upwards swings Bears the Cross upon its wings.
If my opinion is of any worth, the fieldfare is the greatest delicacy among birds, the hare among quadrupeds.
Do you ask what sort of a maid I desire or dislike, Flaccus? I dislike one too easy and one too coy. The just mean, which lies between the two extremes, is what I approve; I like neither that which tortures nor that which cloys.
