Aulus Persius Flaccus

Is any man free except the one who can pass his life as he pleases?

The belly is the giver of genius.

He conquers who endures.

Out of nothing can come, and nothing can become nothing.

Tomorrow is the day when idlers work, and fools reform, and mortal men lay hold on heaven.

We consume our tomorrows fretting about our yesterdays.

And don't consult anyone's opinions but your own.

Each man has his own desires; all do not possess the same inclinations.

Oh, what a void there is in things.

The stomach is the teacher of the arts and the dispenser of invention.

Hunger is the teacher of the arts and the bestower of invention.
