Ennius was the father of Roman poetry, because he first introduced into Latin the Greek manner and in particular the hexameter metre.

I never indulge in rhyme or stanza Unless I'm in bed with the influenza.

A true friend is a friend when in difficulty

One man by delaying saved the state for us.

Don't ask of your friends what you yourself can do.

The idle mind knows not what it wants.

He hath freedom whoso beareth a clean and constant heart within.
