More quotes by Herodotus
God does not suffer presumption in anyone but himself.
Herodotus
The ears of men are lesser agents of belief than their eyes.
Herodotus
All men's gains are the fruit of venturing.
Herodotus
Soft men tend to be born from soft countries.
Herodotus
Circumstances rule men men do not rule circumstances.
Herodotus
There is nothing more foolish, nothing more given to outrage than a useless mob.
Herodotus
Happiness is not fame or riches or heroic virtues, but a state that will inspire posterity to think in reflecting upon our life, that it was the life they would wish to live.
Herodotus
To think well and to consent to obey someone giving good advice are the same thing.
Herodotus
But if you know that you are a man too, and that even such are those that rule, learn this first of all: that all human affairs are a wheel which, as it turns, does not allow the same men always to be fortunate.
Herodotus
Great things are won by great dangers.
Herodotus
As the old saw says well: every end does not appear together with its beginning.
Herodotus
When life is so burdensome death has become a sought after refuge.
Herodotus
In soft regions are born soft men.
Herodotus
The man of affluence is not in fact more happy than the possessor of a bare competency, unless, in addition to his wealth, the end of his life be fortunate. We often see misery dwelling in the midst of splendour, whilst real happiness is found in humbler stations.
Herodotus
Where even a falsehood must be told, let it be told.
Herodotus
A general curiosity about the unknown sparked by the multicultural milieu in which I spent my formative years. There was a lot of unknown back then, too. I dare say it was easier to be an explorer then.
Herodotus
A man trusts his ears less than his eyes.
Herodotus
The Scythians take kannabis seed, creep in under the felts, and throw it on the red-hot stones. It smolders and sends up such billows of steam-smoke that no Greek vapor bath can surpass it. The Scythians howl with joy in these vapor-baths, which serve them instead of bathing, for they never wash their bodies with water.
Herodotus
For of those [cities] that were great in earlier times, most of them have now become small, while those which were great in my time were small formerly.
Herodotus
Mens fortunes are on a wheel, which in its turning suffers not the same man to prosper for ever.
Herodotus
