Love for lineage nothing cares,
Tramples wisdom under foot,
Worth derides, and only looks
For money.

Additional quotes by Anacreon

Whence can we the future learn?
Life to mortals is obscure.

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

The black earth drinks, in turn
The trees drink up the earth.
The sea the torrents drinks, the sun the sea,
And the moon drinks the sun.
Why, comrades, do ye flout me,
If I, too, wish to drink?
