More quotes by Herodotus
Men trust their ears less than their eyes.
Herodotus
The hastening of any undertaking begets error, from which great losses are wont to come.
Herodotus
Chances rule men and not men chances.
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
As the old saw says well: every end does not appear together with its beginning. It's impossible for someone who is human to have all good things together, just as there is no single country able to provide all good things for itself.
Herodotus
For as the body grows old, so the wits grow old and become blind towards all things alike.
Herodotus
To think well and to consent to obey someone giving good advice are the same thing.
Herodotus
One should always look to the end of everything, how it will finally come out. For the god has shown blessedness to many only to overturn them utterly in the end.
Herodotus
How much better a thing it is to be envied than to be pitied.
Herodotus
God does not suffer presumption in anyone but himself.
Herodotus
Force has no place where there is need of skill.
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
Where wisdom is called for, force is of little use.
Herodotus
But I like not these great successes of yours for I know how jealous are the gods.
Herodotus
Where even a falsehood must be told, let it be told.
Herodotus
A woman takes off her claim to respect along with her garments.
Herodotus
Many exceedingly rich men are unhappy, but many middling circumstances are fortunate.
Herodotus
As the old saw says well: every end does not appear together with its beginning.
Herodotus
The trials of living and the pangs of disease make even the short span of life too long.
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
