James Wood, comp. Dictionary of Quotations. 1899.

Propertius

Cedite, Romani scriptores; cedite, Graii—Give place, ye Roman writers; give place, ye Greeks (ironically applied to a pretentious author).

In magnis et voluisse sat est—In great things it is enough even to have willed.

Ingenio stat sine morte decus—The honour accorded to genius is immortal.

Omnia non pariter rerum sunt omnibus apta—All things are not alike fit for all men.
