Additional quotes by Gaius Lucilius

This is a little better than middling, that is a little less bad than what you would call the worst.

Vivite lurcones, comedones, vivite ventris!

Ut pueri infantes credunt signa omnia aena
vivere et esse homines, sic isti somnia ficta
vera putant, credunt signis cor inesse in aenis.
Pergula pictorum, veri nil, omnia ficta.
