Quotes by Plautus
No news is good news.
One good turn deserves another.
Practice makes perfect.
Rome wasn't built in a day.
Still waters run deep.
The grass is always greener on the other side.
There's no accounting for taste.
Time flies when you're having fun.
Two heads are better than one.
When the cat's away, the mice will play.
Not by age but by capacity is wisdom acquired.
Practice yourself what you preach.
Things which you do not hope happen more frequently than things which you do hope.
Patience is the best remedy for every trouble.
No man is wise enough by himself.
The love of money is the root of all evil.
He whom the gods love dies young, while he is in health, has his senses and his judgment sound.
In the one hand water, in the other an empty food sack.
You are seeking a knot in a bulrush.
I am a man of peace, but not a man of war.
