Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto
Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto.
“I am human, nothing that is human is alien to me.”
TERENCE (c. 185-159 BC), Heauton Timoroumenos.
Terence is, after Plautus, the greatest Roman comic dramatist. The plays of Plautus are full of life and vigor, while the works of Terence show more insight and philosophy. The verse quoted above is certainly his most praised and admired sentence.
