And life is given to none freehold, but it is leasehold for all.
Lucretius Constant dripping hollows out a stone. Lucretius From the heart of the fountain of delight rises a jet of bitterness that tortures us among the very flowers. Lucretius From the very fountain of enchantment there arises a taste of bitterness to spread anguish amongst the flowers. Lucretius In the midst of the fountain of wit there arises something bitter, which stings in the very flowers. Lucretius It is great wealth to a soul to live frugally with a contented mind. Lucretius Life is one long struggle in the dark. Lucretius Pleasant it is, when over a great sea the winds trouble the waters, to gaze from shore upon another's great tribulation; not because any man's troubles are a delectable joy, but because to perceive you are free of them yourself is pleasant. Lucretius Pleasant it to behold great encounters of warfare arrayed over the plains, with no part of yours in peril. Lucretius So potent was religion in persuading to evil deeds. Lucretius Such are the heights of wickedness to which men are driven by religion. Lucretius Sweet it is, when on the high seas the winds are lashing the waters, to gaze from the land on another's struggles. Lucretius The drops of rain make a hole in the stone, not by violence, but by oft falling. Lucretius The fall of dropping water wears away the Stone. Lucretius The greatest wealth is to live content with little, for there is never want where the mind is satisfied. Lucretius The sum of all sums is eternity. Lucretius Though the dungeon, the scourge, and the executioner be absent, the guilty mind can apply the goad and scorch with blows. Lucretius Thus the sum of things is ever being reviewed, and mortals dependent one upon another. Some nations increase, others diminish, and in a short space the generations of living creatures are changed and like runners pass on the torch of life. Lucretius Victory puts us on a level with heaven. Lucretius We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another. Lucretius What is food to one man is bitter poison to others. Lucretius What is food to one, is to others bitter poison. Lucretius |
