Pliny the Younger

The desire for all things diminishes when the occasion is too easy.

Serve a hundred times, deny once, and no one will remember anything except your denial.

The greatest number of the evils that man suffers come from man himself.

There is no book so bad that it is not good for something.

Read a lot, but not too many things.

The happier the times, the sooner they pass.

Practice is an exceptional teacher.

By nature, men like to see new things and to travel.

Fear is a poor teacher to give lessons in virtue.

You don't seem to have won to triumph, but to triumph for having won.
