Terence quotes
As a person is so must you humor them.
He makes a great mistake... who supposes that authority is firmer or better established when it is founded by force than that which is welded by affection.
How often events, by chance, and unexpectedly, came to pass, which you had not dared even to hope for!
How often things occur by mere chance which we dared not even hope for.
How unfair the fate which ordains that those who have the least should be always adding to the treasury of the wealthy.
I am human and let nothing human be alien to me.
I believe because it is impossible.
I do not give money for just mere hopes.
I hold this as a rule of life: too much of anything is bad.
Many a time from a bad beginning great friendships have sprung up.
Nowadays those are rewarded who make right appear wrong.
Of my friends I am the only one left.
Their silence is praise enough.
They are so knowing, that they know nothing.
We are all of us the worse for too much liberty.
What a grand thing it is to be clever and have common sense.
What harsh judges fathers are to all young men!
Where there's life, there's hope.
While the mind is in doubt it is driven this way and that by a slight impulse.
You believe easily that which you hope for earnestly.
You can take a chance with any man who pays his bills on time.
You're a wise person if you can easily direct your attention to what ever needs it.
