More quotes by Herodotus
Where even a falsehood must be told, let it be told.
Herodotus
Love of honor is a very shady sort of possession.
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
Before a man dies, hold back and call him not happy but lucky.
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
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
But I like not these great successes of yours for I know how jealous are the gods.
Herodotus
If one is sufficiently lavish with time, everything possible happens.
Herodotus
Chances rule men and not men chances.
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

Herodotus
The man who has planned badly, if fortune is on his side, may have had a stroke of luck but his plan was a bad one nonetheless.
Herodotus
Many exceedingly rich men are unhappy, but many middling circumstances are fortunate.
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
Haste in every business brings failures.
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
Mens fortunes are on a wheel, which in its turning suffers not the same man to prosper for ever.
Herodotus
A woman takes off her claim to respect along with her garments.
Herodotus
In peace sons bury fathers, but war violates the order of nature, and fathers bury sons.
Herodotus
The hastening of any undertaking begets error, from which great losses are wont to come.
Herodotus
