I hate the uncultivated crowd and keep them at a distance. Favour me by your tongues (keep silence). Horace, Odes, Book III. 1. ("Favete linguis" also found in Cicero, Ovid).
Your tittle-tattlers, and those who listen to slander, by my good will should all be hanged—the former by their tongues, the latter by the ears. Plautus, Pseudolus, I. 5. 12.
