5 Tears quotes by Publilius Syrus
All Tears quotes · Publilius Syrus’s page
Tears gratify a savage nature, they do not melt it.
— Publilius Syrus
Cruelty isn't softened by tears; it feeds on them.
No tears are shed when an enemy dies.
Ready tears are a sign of treachery, not of grief
Love, like a tear, rises in the eye and falls upon the breast.
Even speed, when we are anxious, seems like delay.
The coward regards himself as cautious, the miser as thrifty.
It is his nature, not his standing, that makes the good man.
It is more tolerable to be refused than deceived.
Modesty once lost, never returns into favour.
One ungrateful person does an injury to all needy people.
He has existed only, not lived, who lacks wisdom in old age.
Any plan is bad which is incapable of modification.
The evil you do to others you may expect in return.
The power of habit is very strong.
Take care that no one hates you justly.
Poverty wants much; but avarice, everything.
