He is the author of the Satires, a collection of satirical poems. The details of Juvenal's life are unclear, but references in his works to people from the late first...
Fortune can, for her pleasure, fools advance, / And toss them on the wheels of Chance.
It is not easy for men to rise whose qualities are thwarted by poverty.
My mother loved children -- she would have given anything if I had been one.
The main thing is to know something and to say it.
—Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Knowledge is power only if man knows what facts not to bother with.
A fellow who is always declaring he's no fool usually has his suspicions.
