Additional quotes by Gaius Lucilius

The Roman people has been often beaten by force and overcome in many battles, but never in a whole war, in which lies all that is vital.

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.

Publicanus vero ut Asiae fiam, ut scripturarius
pro Lucilio, id ego nolo et uno hoc non muto omnia.

Paulo hoc melius quam mediocre, hoc minus malum quam ut pessumum. - Gaius Lucilius
