Juvenal
-
What's infamy matter when you get to keep your fortune?
-
Myself, I prefer life without fires, without nocturnal panics.
-
Be rich to yourself and poor to your friends.
-
Be gentle with the young.
-
Nothing is more intolerable than a wealthy woman.
-
It is not easy for men to rise whose qualities are thwarted by poverty.
-
Who will guard the guards themselves?
(quis custodiet ipsos custodes?)
-
Count it the greatest sin to prefer life to honor, and for the sake of living to lose what makes life worth having.
-
The people that once bestowed commands, consulships, legions, and all else, now concerns itself no more, and longs eagerly for just two things - bread and circuses!
-
You should pray for a sound mind in a sound body.
-
Fortune can, for her pleasure, fools advance,
And toss them on the wheels of Chance.
-
A healthy mind in a healthy body.
-
One path alone leads to a life of peace: The path of virtue.
-
Peace visits not the guilty mind.
(Nemo Malus Felix)
-
Refrain from doing ill; for one all powerful reason, lest our children should copy our misdeeds; we are all too prone to imitate whatever is base and depraved.
-
Think it the greatest impiety to prefer life to disgrace, and for the sake of life to lose the reason for living.
