More quotes by Herodotus
In soft regions are born soft men.
Herodotus

Herodotus

Herodotus

Let there be nothing untried for nothing happens by itself, but men obtain all things by trying.
Herodotus
My men have become women, but the women men.
Herodotus

Many exceedingly rich men are unhappy, but many middling circumstances are fortunate.
Herodotus
Great deeds are usually wrought at great risks.
Herodotus
For as the body grows old, so the wits grow old and become blind towards all things alike.
Herodotus
