More quotes by Herodotus
A man trusts his ears less than his eyes.
Herodotus
To think well and to consent to obey someone giving good advice are the same thing.
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
These 'messengers' will not be hindered from accomplishing at their best speed the distance which they have to go, either by snow, or rain, or heat, or by the darkness of night.
Herodotus
Let there be nothing untried for nothing happens by itself, but men obtain all things by trying.
Herodotus
In peace children inter their parents, war violates the order of nature and causes parents to inter their children.
Herodotus
If one is sufficiently lavish with time, everything possible happens.
Herodotus
A man calumniated is doubly injured -- first by him who utters the calumny, and then by him who believes it.
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
Mens fortunes are on a wheel, which in its turning suffers not the same man to prosper for ever.
Herodotus
The worst part a man can suffer is to have insight into much and power over nothing.
Herodotus
For as the body grows old, so the wits grow old and become blind towards all things alike.
Herodotus
The most hateful human misfortune is for a wise man to have no influence.
Herodotus
Great deeds are usually wrought at great risks.
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
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
For of those [cities] that were great in earlier times, most of them have now become small, while those which were great in my time were small formerly.
Herodotus
Great things are won by great dangers.
Herodotus
In soft regions are born soft men.
Herodotus
The wooden wall alone should remain unconquered.
Herodotus
