More quotes by Herodotus
As the old saw says well: every end does not appear together with its beginning.
Herodotus
God does not suffer presumption in anyone but himself.
Herodotus
The most hateful human misfortune is for a wise man to have no influence.
Herodotus
We have two useless gods who never leave our island, but like to dwell in it constantly, Poverty and Helplessness.
Herodotus
Love of honor is a very shady sort of possession.
Herodotus
Force has no place where there is need of skill.
Herodotus
Bowmen bend their bows when they wish to shoot: unbrace them when the shooting is over. Were they kept always strung they would break and fail the archer in time of need. So it is with men. If they give themselves constantly to serious work, and never indulge awhile in pastime or sport, they lose their senses and become mad.
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
In peace sons bury fathers, but war violates the order of nature, and fathers bury sons.
Herodotus
The king's might is greater than human, and his arm is very long.
Herodotus
Great things are won by great dangers.
Herodotus
Let there be nothing untried for nothing happens by itself, but men obtain all things by trying.
Herodotus
My men have become women, but the women men.
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
Where wisdom is called for, force is of little use.
Herodotus
The period of a [Persian] boy's education is between the ages of five and twenty, and he is taught three things only: to ride, to use the bow, and to speak the truth.
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
Great deeds are usually wrought at great risks.
Herodotus
He is the best man who, when making his plans, fears and reflects on everything that can happen to him, but in the moment of action is bold.
Herodotus
In soft regions are born soft men.
Herodotus
