Here are some quotes I got from a good book, Figures of Speech: 60 ways to turn a phrase, by Arthur Quinn:
--Whom God wishes to destroy, he first makes mad. Euripides
--About suffering they were never wrong,/ The old masters. W.H. Auden
--I am going in search of the great perhaps. Rabelais
--Her voice is full of money. F. Scott Fitzgerald
--A hungry stomach has no ears. La Fontaine
--Night's candles are burnt out. Romeo and Juliet
--All is flux, nothing stays still. Heraclitus
--A man should be mourned at his birth, not at his death. Montesquieu
--Give me chastity, but not yet. Augustine
--Who shall stand guard to the guards themselves? Juvenal
