“Crine ruber, niger ore, brevis pede, lumine laesus
Rem magnam praestas, Zoile, si bonus es.”
[With all these tokens of a complete knave, you are devilish cheats.]
Martial, Epigram 54, I, 12 [non vitiosus homo, sed vitium — not lazy, but vicious].

“It is a general rule that a written composition should be easy to read and therefore easy to deliver. This cannot be so where there are many connecting words or clauses, or where punctuation is hard, as in the writings of Heracleitus. To punctuate Heracleitus is no easy task, because we often cannot tell whether a particular word belongs to what precedes or what follows it. Thus, at the outset of his treatise he says, ‘Though this truth is always men understand it not’, where it is not clear with which of the two clauses the word ‘always’ should be joined by the punctuation.”
Aristotle, Rhetoric 1407b11–18 [Heraclitus DK B1: ‘being forever’ or: ‘prove forever’].
