Horace
Fools through false shame, conceal their open wounds.
Horace
All else-valor, a good name, glory, everything in heaven and earth-is secondary to the charm of riches.
Horace
Misfortunes, untoward events, lay open, disclose the skill of a general, while success conceals his weakness, his weak points.
Horace
No man is born without faults.
Horace
