Additional quotes by Anacreon

To-day belongs to me,
To-morrow who can tell.

Cursed be he above all others
Who's enslaved by love of money.
Money takes the place of brothers,
Money takes the place of parents,
Money brings us war and slaughter.

E'en though I would not, die I must;
Why stray I thus through life?
