Words will not fail when the matter is well considered.
From Horace
Labor diligently to increase your property.
Good sense is both the first principal and the parent source of good writing.
It is no great art to say something briefly when, like Tacitus, one has something to say; when one has nothing to say, however, and none the less writes a whole book and makes truth into a liar - that I call an achievement.
No poems can please for long or live that are written by water drinkers.
It is when I struggle to be brief that I become obscure.
Knowledge without education is but armed injustice.
No verse can give pleasure for long, nor last, that is written by drinkers of water.
Mountains will go into labour, and a silly little mouse will be born.
A word, once sent abroad, flies irrevocably.
