More quotes by Herodotus
Many exceedingly rich men are unhappy, but many middling circumstances are fortunate.
Herodotus
Where wisdom is called for, force is of little use.
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 peace sons bury fathers, but war violates the order of nature, and fathers bury sons.
Herodotus
Force has no place where there is need of skill.
Herodotus
When a woman removes her garment, she also removes the respect that is hers.
Herodotus
Great deeds are usually wrought at great risks.
Herodotus
There is nothing more foolish, nothing more given to outrage than a useless mob.
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
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
Egypt is the gift of the Nile.
Herodotus
For as the body grows old, so the wits grow old and become blind towards all things alike.
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
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
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
In peace children inter their parents, war violates the order of nature and causes parents to inter their children.
Herodotus
A multitude of rulers is not a good thing. Let there be one ruler, one king.
Herodotus
My men have become women, but the women men.
Herodotus
Love of honor is a very shady sort of possession.
Herodotus
Envy is so natural to human kind, that it cannot but arise.
Herodotus
