More quotes by Hesiod
A bad neighbor is a misfortune, as much as a good one is a great blessing.
Hesiod
In the race for wealth, a neighbor tries to outdo his neighbor, but this strife is good for men. For the potter envies potter, and the carpenter the carpenter, and the beggar rivals the beggar, and the singer the singer.
Hesiod
A sparing tongue is the greatest treasure among men.
Hesiod
It is not possible either to trick or escape the mind of Zeus.
Hesiod
They are fools who do not know how much the half exceeds the whole.
Hesiod
But he who neither thinks for himself nor learns from others, is a failure as a man.
Hesiod
Man's chiefest treasure is a sparing tongue.
Hesiod
For a man wins nothing better than a good wife, and then again nothing deadlier than a bad one.
Hesiod
Toil is no source of shame idleness is shame.
Hesiod
Justice prevails over transgression when she comes to the end of the race.
Hesiod
Do not let a flattering woman coax and wheedle you and deceive you she is after your barn.
Hesiod
The half is greater than the whole.
Hesiod
In work there is no shame shame is in the idleness.
Hesiod
Inhibition is no good provider for a needy man
Hesiod
So the people will pay the penalty for their kings' presumption, who, by devising evil, turn justice from her path with tortuous speech.
Hesiod
Preserve the mean the opportune moment is best in all things.
Hesiod
A man who works evil against another works it really against himself, and bad advice is worst for the one who devised it
Hesiod
Work is not a shame. Laziness is a shame.
Hesiod
Let it please thee to keep in order a moderate-sized farm, that so thy garners may be full of fruits in their season.
Hesiod
Do not put your work off till to-morrow and the day after for a sluggish worker does not fill his barn, nor one who puts off his work: industry makes work go well, but a man who puts off work is always at hand-grips with ruin.
Hesiod
