Quotes by Terence
When the cat's away, the mice will play.
You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
Beggars can't be choosers.
Every cloud has a silver lining.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Curiosity killed the cat.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
The pen is mightier than the sword.
Rome wasn't built in a day.
Silence is golden.
Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto.
Fortune helps the brave.
Time removes distress.
I have everything, yet have nothing; and although I possess nothing, still of nothing am I in want.
Nothing is so easy as to deceive oneself.
The less my hope, the hotter my love.
There is nothing so easy but that it becomes difficult when you do it reluctantly.
While there's life, there's hope.
He who has patience has everything.
In fact, nothing is said that has not been said before.
