More quotes by Herodotus
A man calumniated is doubly injured -- first by him who utters the calumny, and then by him who believes it.
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
Unless a variety of opinions are laid before us, we have no opportunity of selection, but are bound of necessity to adopt the particular view which may have been brought forward.
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
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
Before a man dies, hold back and call him not happy but lucky.
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
Soft men tend to be born from soft countries.
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
Let there be nothing untried for nothing happens by itself, but men obtain all things by trying.
Herodotus
Haste in every business brings failures.
Herodotus
All men's gains are the fruit of venturing.
Herodotus
We have two useless gods who never leave our island, but like to dwell in it constantly, Poverty and Helplessness.
Herodotus
A man trusts his ears less than his eyes.
Herodotus
Historia (Inquiry) so that the actions of of people will not fade with time.
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
There is nothing more foolish, nothing more given to outrage than a useless mob.
Herodotus
The man of affluence is not in fact more happy than the possessor of a bare competency, unless, in addition to his wealth, the end of his life be fortunate. We often see misery dwelling in the midst of splendour, whilst real happiness is found in humbler stations.
Herodotus
Love of honor is a very shady sort of possession.
Herodotus
