James Wood, comp. Dictionary of Quotations. 1899.

Lactantius

Legimus ne legantur—We read that others may not read.

Memory tempers prosperity, mitigates adversity, controls youth, and delights old age.

The first point of wisdom is to discern that which is false; the second, to know that which is true.

Ubi timor adest, sapientia adesse nequit—Where fear is present, wisdom cannot be.
