More quotes by Pliny the Elder
Our youth and manhood are due to our country, but our declining years are due to ourselves.
Pliny the Elder
Wine maketh the band quivering, the eye watery, the night unquiet, lewd dreams, a stinking breath in the morning, and an utter forgetfulness of all things.
Pliny the Elder
Nature makes us buy her presents at the price of so many sufferings that it is doubtful whether she deserves most the name of parent or stepmother.
Pliny the Elder
A god cannot procure death for himself, even if he wished it, which, so numerous are the evils of life, has been granted to man as our chief good.
Pliny the Elder
There is alas no law against incompetency no striking example is made. They learn by our bodily jeopardy and make experiments until the death of the patients, and the doctor is the only person not punished for murder.
Pliny the Elder
His only fault is that he has no fault.
Pliny the Elder
The best plan is to profit by the folly of others.
Pliny the Elder
In these matters the only certainty is that nothing is certain.
Pliny the Elder
No one is wise at all times.
Pliny the Elder
We listen with deep interest to what we hear, for to man novelty is ever charming.
Pliny the Elder
The desire to know a thing is heightened by its gratification being deferred.
Pliny the Elder
In wine there is health (In vino sanitas)
Pliny the Elder
It is ridiculous to suppose that the great head of things, whatever it be, pays any regard to human affairs.
Pliny the Elder
Wine takes away reason, engenders insanity, leads to thousands of crimes, and imposes such an enormous expense on nations.
Pliny the Elder
Many other means there be, that promise the foreknowledge of things to come: besides the raising up and conjuring of ghosts departed, the conference also with familiars and spirits infernal. And all these were found out in our days, to be no better than vanities and false illusions.
Pliny the Elder
Truth comes out in wine.
Pliny the Elder
Accustom yourself to master and overcome things of difficulty for if you observe, the left hand for want of practice is insignificant, and not adapted to general business yet it holds the bridle better than the right, from constant use.
Pliny the Elder
The best kind of wine is that which is most pleasant to him who drinks it.
Pliny the Elder
The agricultural population produces the bravest men, the most valiant soldiers,46 and a class of citizens the least given of all to evil designs.
Pliny the Elder
Home is where the heart is.
Pliny the Elder
