Additional quotes by Lucretius

So it is more useful to watch a man in times of peril, and in adversity to discern what kind of man he is; for then at last words of truth are drawn from the depths of his heart, and the mask is torn off, reality remains.

So rolling time changes the seasons of things. What was of value, becomes in turn of no worth.

Violence and injury enclose in their net all that do such things, and generally return upon him who began.

Omnia qua propter debent per inane quietum aeque ponderibus non aequis concita ferri. - Lucretius
