More quotes by Pliny the Elder
Home is where the heart is.
Pliny the Elder
Wine refreshes the stomach, sharpens the appetite, blunts care and sadness, and conduces to slumber.
Pliny the Elder
It has been observed that the height of a man from the crown of the head to the sole of the foot is equal to the distance between the tips of the middle fingers of the two hands when extended in a straight line.
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
Grief has limits, whereas apprehension has none. For we grieve only for what we know has happened, but we fear all that possibly may happen.
Pliny the Elder
There is in them a softer fire than the ruby, there is the brilliant purple of the amethyst, and the sea green of the emerald - all shining together in incredible union. Some by their splendor rival the colors of the painters, others the flame of burning sulphur or of fire quickened by oil.
Pliny the Elder
We live by reposing trust in each other.
Pliny the Elder
The best kind of wine is that which is most pleasant to him who drinks it.
Pliny the Elder
No man's abilities are so remarkably shining as not to stand in need of a proper opportunity.
Pliny the Elder
Such is the audacity of man, that he hath learned to counterfeit Nature, yea, and is so bold as to challenge her in her work.
Pliny the Elder
A short death is the sovereign good hap of human life.
Pliny the Elder
Suicide is a privilege of man which deity does not possess.
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
Man alone at the very moment of his birth, cast naked upon the naked earth, does she abandon to cries and lamentations.
Pliny the Elder
The world, and whatever that be which we call the heavens, by the vault of which all things are enclosed, we must conceive to be a deity, to be eternal, without bounds, neither created nor subject at any time to destruction. To inquire what is beyond it is no concern of man nor can the human mind form any conjecture concerning it.
Pliny the Elder
Our youth and manhood are due to our country, but our declining years are due to ourselves.
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
From the end spring new beginnings.
Pliny the Elder
God has no power over the past except to cover it with oblivion.
Pliny the Elder
