More quotes by Hesiod
Inhibition is no good provider for a needy man, Inhibition, which does men great harm and great good. Inhibition attaches to poverty, boldness to wealth.
Hesiod
Giving is good, but taking is bad and brings death.
Hesiod

Hesiod
Bring a wife home to your house when you are of the right age, not far short of 30 years, nor much above this is the right time for marriage.
Hesiod

Hesiod
Do not put all your goods in hollow ships.
Hesiod
It is a hard thing for a man to be righteous, if the unrighteous man is to have the greater right.
Hesiod
If you add a little to a little and do this often, soon the little will become great.
Hesiod
Only fools need suffer to learn.
Hesiod
It is not possible either to trick or escape the mind of Zeus.
Hesiod
