Before a man dies, hold back and call him not happy but lucky.
Herodotus
Image
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

Herodotus
Image

Herodotus

A man trusts his ears less than his eyes.

Herodotus
Image
Great deeds are usually wrought at great risks.
Herodotus
Image
Where wisdom is called for, force is of little use.
Herodotus
Image
A multitude of rulers is not a good thing. Let there be one ruler, one king.
Herodotus
Image
In peace children inter their parents, war violates the order of nature and causes parents to inter their children.
Herodotus
Image
In soft regions are born soft men.
Herodotus
Image
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
