More quotes by Herodotus
History is marked by alternating movements across the imaginary line that separates East from West in Eurasia.
Herodotus
All men's gains are the fruit of venturing.
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
Men trust their ears less than their 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
Far better it is to have a stout heart always and suffer one's share of evils, than to be ever fearing what may happen.
Herodotus

Herodotus
A man trusts his ears less than his eyes.

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
Where wisdom is called for, force is of little use.
Herodotus
How much better a thing it is to be envied than to be pitied.
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
Historia (Inquiry) so that the actions of of people will not fade with time.
Herodotus
My men have become women, but the women men.
Herodotus
The most hateful human misfortune is for a wise man to have no influence.
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
