Persius (Aulus Persius Flaccus) (A.D. 34 ~ 62), Roman poet and satirist

He conquers who endures.

We consume our tomorrows fretting about our yesterdays.

Is any man free except the one who can pass his life as he pleases?

Oh, what a void there is in things.

Out of nothing can come, and nothing can become nothing.

Hunger is the teacher of the arts and the bestower of invention.

"Out of nothing can come, and nothing can become nothing."

"Each man has his own desires; all do not possess the same inclinations"

"She knows her man, and when you rant and swear, can draw you to her with a single hair"

"To-morrow is the day when idlers work, and fools reform, and mortal men lay hold on heaven"

"Is any man free except the one who can pass his life as he pleases?"

"Nothing can be produced from nothing; nothing can be returned into nothing. —Gigni de nihilo nihil; in nihilum nil posse reverti"

Each man has his own desires; all do not possess the same inclinations. [Lat., Velle suuum cuique est, nec voto vivitur uno.]

The belly (i.e. necessity) is the teacher of art and the liberal bestower of wit. [Lat., Magister artis ingenique largitor Venter.]

Why, like the hindmost chariot wheels, art curst Still to be near but ne'er to reach the first. [Lat., Nam quamvis prope to, quamvis temone sub uno Verentem sese, frustra sectabere cantum Cum rota posterior curras et in axe secundo.]

That no one, no one at all, should try to search into himself! But the wallet of the person in front is carefully kept in view. [Lat., Ut nemo in sese tentat descendere, nemo! Sed praecedenti spectatur mantica tergo.]

Fit to give weight to smoke. [Lat., Dare pondus idonea fumo.]

Out of the frying pan into the fire.

The belly is the teacher of art and the bestower of genius. [Lat., Magister artis ingeniique largitor venter.]

He attempts to use language which he does not know. [Lat., Negatas artifex sequi voces.]

Nothing can be born of nothing, nothing can be resolved into nothing.

To be pointed out with the finger.
