Rebus was eating breakfast in the canteen and wishing there was more caffeine in the coffee, or more coffee in the coffee come to that.
Ian Rankin
Image
The poet's discourse can be compared to the track of a charged particle through a cloud-chamber. An energised field of association and connotation, of overtones and undertones, of rebus and homophone, surround its motion, and break from it in the context of collision .. in Western poetry so much of the charged substance is previous poetry.
George Steiner
Image
In adversity it is easy to despise life he is truly brave who can endure a wretched life. [Lat., Rebus in angustis facile est contemnere vitam Fortiter ille facit qui miser esse potest.]
Martial

There is no need of words believe facts. [Lat., Non opus est verbis, credite rebus.]
Ovid

In all things there is a kind of law of cycles. [Lat., Rebus cunctis inest quidam velut orbis.]
Tacitus

Quantum est in rebus inane! How much folly there is in human affairs.
Aulus Persius Flaccus
Image
And I endeavour to subdue circumstances to myself, and not myself to circumstances. [Lat., Et mihi res, non me rebus, subjungere conor.]
Horace
Image
Tolle numerum omnibus rebus et omnia pereunt.Take from all things their number and all shall perish.
Isidore of Seville
Image
Thanks are justly due for things got without purchase. [Lat., Gratia pro rebus merito debetur inemtis.]
Ovid

In everything the middle course is best: all things in excess bring trouble to men. [Lat., Modus omnibus in rebus, soror, optimum est habitu Nimia omnia nimium exhibent negotium hominibus ex se.]
Plautus
Image
Scientia potentia est, sed parva quia scientia egregia rara est, nec proinde apparens nisi paucissimis, et in paucis rebus. Scientiae enim ea natura est, ut esse intelligi non possit, nisi ab illis qui sunt scientia praediti.
Thomas Hobbes
