Additional quotes by Lucretius

Sic rerum summa novatur
semper, et inter se mortales mutua vivunt. augescunt aliae gentes, aliae minuuntur,
inque brevi spatio mutantur saecla animantum
et quasi cursores vitae lampada tradunt.

Cur non ut plenus vitae conviva recedis
aequo animoque capis securam, stulte, quietem?

But if one should guide his life by true principles, man's greatest riches is to live on a little with contented mind; for a little is never lacking.

Vitare, plagas in amoris ne iaciamur, non ita difficile est quam captum retibus ipsis exire et validos Veneris perrumpere nodos. - Lucretius
