Juvenal, fully Decimus Junius Juvenalis

All wish to know, but none to pay the fee.

Some men make money not for the sake of living, but ache in blindness of greed and live for their fortune's sake.

The entire flock dies in the fields of the disease introduced by one.

Wisdom is the conqueror of fortune.

Nature and wisdom never are at strife.

Never does nature say one thing and wisdom another.

Only death reveals what a nothing the body is for man.

Revenge is sweeter than life itself. So think fools.

"Every fault of the mind becomes more conspicuous and more guilty in proportion to the rank of the offender" - Persons in high station are not only answerable for their own conduct, but for the example they may hold out to others. This, joined to their advantages of education, aggravates their vices and loads them with a greater share of responsibility.

Rare indulgence produces greater pleasure.

All wish to possess knowledge, but few, comparatively speaking, are willing to pay the price.

Rarely they rise by virtue’s aid who lie plunged in the depth of helpless poverty.

Bad passions become more odious in proportion as the motives to them are weakened; and gratuitous vice cannot be too indignantly exposed to reprehension. No man ever arrived suddenly at the summit of vice.

Remorse is the fruit of crime.

Every error of the mind is the more conspicuous and culpable in proportion to the rank of the person who commits it.

Revenge is always the weak pleasure of a little and narrow mind.

Everything on earth is praised by somebody, criticized by somebody else - but loyalty and truthfulness are praised by all.

Revenge is the abject pleasure of an abject mind.

He who within his breast meditates a crime has all the guilt of the deed.

Revenge is the poor delight of little minds.

In appearances place no trust.

The man whose purse is empty can cheerfully sing before the robber.

Integrity is praised and starves.

The one and only nobility is virtue.

It is a wretched thing to lean on the reputation of others, lest the pillars being withdrawn the roof should fall in ruins.
