More quotes by Herodotus
We have two useless gods who never leave our island, but like to dwell in it constantly, Poverty and Helplessness.
Herodotus
The king's might is greater than human, and his arm is very long.
Herodotus
A woman takes off her claim to respect along with her garments.
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
In soft regions are born soft men.
Herodotus

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
Where even a falsehood must be told, let it be told.
Herodotus

Herodotus

Herodotus
Great things are won by great dangers.
Herodotus
It is the greatest and the tallest of trees that the gods bring low with bolts and thunder. For the gods love to thwart whatever is greater than the rest. They do not suffer pride in anyone but themselves.
Herodotus

Herodotus
When life is so burdensome death has become a sought after refuge.
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
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
The hastening of any undertaking begets error, from which great losses are wont to come.
Herodotus
But this I know: if all mankind were to take their troubles to market with the idea of exchanging them, anyone seeing what his neighbor's troubles were like would be glad to go home with his own.
Herodotus
