James Wood, comp. Dictionary of Quotations. 1899.

Curtius

Altissima quæque flumina minimo sono labuntur—The deepest rivers flow with the least noise.

Effugit mortem, quisquis contempserit: timidissimum quemque consequitur—Whoso despises death escapes it, while it overtakes him who is afraid of it.

Fatigatis humus cubile est—To the weary the bare ground is a bed.
