More quotes by Hesiod
You trust a thief when you trust a woman.
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
There is also an evil report light, indeed, and easy to raise, but difficult to carry, and still more difficult to get rid of.
Hesiod
I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on the frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words. When I was a boy, we were taught to be discrete and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise and impatient of restraint.
Hesiod
It is a hard thing for a man to be righteous, if the unrighteous man is to have the greater right.
Hesiod
Bacteria: The only culture some people have.
Hesiod
The dawn speeds a man on his journey, and speeds him too in his work.
Hesiod

Hesiod
Often even a whole city suffers for a bad man who sins and contrives presumptuous deeds.
Hesiod
That man is best who sees the truth himself. Good too is he who listens to wise counsel. But who is neither wise himself nor willing to ponder wisdom is not worth a straw.
Hesiod
We know how to speak many falsehoods that resemble real things, but we know, when we will, how to speak true things.
Hesiod
Wealth should not be seized, but the god-given is much better.
Hesiod
At the beginning of the cask and the end take thy fill but be saving in the middle for at the bottom the savings comes too late.
Hesiod
Evil can be got very easily and exists in quantity: the road to her is very smooth, and she lives near by. But between us and virtue the gods have placed the sweat of our brows the road to her is long and steep, and it is rough at first but when a man has reached the top, then she is easy to attain, although before she was hard.
Hesiod
The potter is at enmity with the potter.
Hesiod
Whoever has trusted a woman has trusted deceivers.
Hesiod
The fool learns by suffering.
Hesiod
If you add a little to a little and do this often, soon the little will become great.
Hesiod
Do not seek evil gains evil gains are the equivalent of disaster
Hesiod
