More quotes by Herodotus
But I like not these great successes of yours for I know how jealous are the gods.
Herodotus
Egypt is the gift of the Nile.
Herodotus
The worst part a man can suffer is to have insight into much and power over nothing.
Herodotus
Many exceedingly rich men are unhappy, but many middling circumstances are fortunate.
Herodotus
If a man insisted always on being serious, and never allowed himself a bit of fun and relaxation, he would go mad or become unstable without knowing it.
Herodotus
As the old saw says well: every end does not appear together with its beginning. It's impossible for someone who is human to have all good things together, just as there is no single country able to provide all good things for itself.
Herodotus
A woman takes off her claim to respect along with her garments.
Herodotus
There is nothing more foolish, nothing more given to outrage than a useless mob.
Herodotus
Force has no place where there is need of skill.
Herodotus
It is the greatest and the tallest of trees that the gods bring low with bolts and thunder. For the gods love to thwart whatever is greater than the rest. They do not suffer pride in anyone but themselves.
Herodotus
When life is so burdensome death has become a sought after refuge.
Herodotus
These 'messengers' will not be hindered from accomplishing at their best speed the distance which they have to go, either by snow, or rain, or heat, or by the darkness of night.
Herodotus
All of life is action and passion, and not to be involved in the actions and passions of your time is to risk having not really lived at all.
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
Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds. [The Motto Of The U.S. Postal Service]
Herodotus
It is said that as many days as there are in the whole journey, so many are the men and horses that stand along the road, each horse and man at the interval of a days journey and these are stayed neither by snow nor rain nor heat nor darkness from accomplishing their appointed course with all speed.
Herodotus
In soft regions are born soft men.
Herodotus
Love of honor is a very shady sort of possession.
Herodotus
Before a man dies, hold back and call him not happy but lucky.
Herodotus
It is a law of nature that fainthearted men should be the fruit of luxurious countries, for we never find that the same soil produces delicacies and heroes.
Herodotus
