Quintilian

Our minds are like our stomachs; they are whetted by the change of their food, and variety supplies both with fresh appetites.

That laugther costs too much which is purchased by the sacrifice of decency.

Nothing can be pleasing which is not also becoming.

When we cannot hope to win, it is an advantage to yield.

Though ambition itself be a vice, yet it is often times the cause of virtues.

Nature herself has never attempted to effect great changes rapidly.

When defeat is inevitable, it is wisest to yield.

A liar should have a good memory.

Those who wish to appear wise among fools, among the wise seem foolish.
