Can't you see that I'm only advising you to beg yourself not to be so dumb?
~ Petronius Arbiter
It's the old headpiece that makes a man, the rest is all rubbish.
After all, I was once like you are, but being the right sort I got where I am.
Every man shall find his own desire, there is no one thing which pleases all: one man gathers thorns and another roses.
What power has law where only money rules?
So the starry sky turns round like a millstone, always bringing some trouble, and men being born or dying.
