Quotes by Terence
Homo sum: humani nil a me alienum puto.
Fortes fortuna adiuvat.
Quot homines tot sententiae: suus cuique mos.
Obsequium amicos, veritas odium parit.
Amantium irae amoris integratio est.
Inceptio est amentium, non fortium.
Ne quid nimis.
Veritas odium parit.
Nil dictum quod non sit dictum prius.
Hinc illae lacrimae.
Flattery creates friends, truth creates enemies.
I am a man, I consider nothing that is human alien to me.
Fortune favors the brave.
So many men, so many opinions; each has his own way.
Lovers' quarrels are the renewal of love.
This is the source of those tears.
Nothing in excess.
Truth begets hatred.
There is nothing said that has not been said before.
An undertaking for madmen, not for brave men.
