« All quotes from this author
 

Invitas nullum nisi cum quo, Cotta, lavaris
et dant convivam balnea sola tibi
mirabar quare numquam me, Cotta, vocasses:
iam scio me nudum displicuisse tibi.
--
You invite no one except (someone) with whom you are bathed, Cotta And only baths provide guest(s) for you. I was wondering why you had never called me, Cotta: Now I know that nude me was displeasing to you.
--
I, 23.

Nam si tibi sidera cessant,
nil faciet longi mensura incognita nervi,
quamvis te nudum spumanti Virro labello
viderit et blandae adsidue densaeque tabellae
sollicitent, autos gar ephelketai andra kinaidos.

 
Juvenal
 

Hic tibi ne qua morae fuerint dispendia tanti,
quamuis increpitent socii et ui cursus in altum
uela uocet, possisque sinus implere secundos,
quin adeas uatem precibusque oracula poscas
ipsa canat uocemque uolens atque ora resoluat.
illa tibi Italiae populos uenturaque bella
et quo quemque modo fugiasque ferasque laborem
expediet, cursusque dabit uenerata secundos.
haec sunt quae nostra liceat te uoce moneri.

 
Virgil
 

In shape, it is perfectly elliptical. In texture, it is smooth and lustrous. In color, it ranges from pale alabaster to warm terra cotta. And in taste, it outstrips all the lush pomegranates that Swinburne was so fond of sinking his lyrical teeth into.

 
Sydney J. Harris
 

Si vis me flere, dolendum est
primum ipsi tibi.

 
Horace
 

Periclum ex aliis facito tibi quod ex usu siet.

 
Terence
