More quotes by 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
In soft regions are born soft men.
Herodotus
Let there be nothing untried for nothing happens by itself, but men obtain all things by trying.
Herodotus
The king's might is greater than human, and his arm is very long.
Herodotus
Historia (Inquiry) so that the actions of of people will not fade with time.
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

Herodotus
A multitude of rulers is not a good thing. Let there be one ruler, one king.
Herodotus
He is the best man who, when making his plans, fears and reflects on everything that can happen to him, but in the moment of action is bold.
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
Where even a falsehood must be told, let it be told.
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
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
Haste in every business brings failures.
Herodotus
For as the body grows old, so the wits grow old and become blind towards all things alike.
Herodotus
Great deeds are usually wrought at great risks.
Herodotus
A man calumniated is doubly injured -- first by him who utters the calumny, and then by him who believes it.
Herodotus
When life is so burdensome death has become a sought after refuge.
Herodotus
Great things are won by great dangers.
Herodotus
