More quotes by Pliny the Elder

Pliny the Elder

Pliny the Elder
Hope is a working-man's dream.

Pliny the Elder
Truth comes out in wine.
Pliny the Elder

Pliny the Elder
The best plan is to profit by the folly of others.
Pliny the Elder
All men possess in their bodies a poison which acts upon serpents and the human saliva, it is said, makes them take to flight, as though they had been touched with boiling water. The same substance, it is said, destroys them the moment it enters their throat.
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
The brain is the citadel of sense perception.
Pliny the Elder
It is generally much more shameful to lose a good reputation than never to have acquired it.
Pliny the Elder
As for the garden of mint, the very smell of it alone recovers and refreshes our spirits, as the taste stirs up our appetite for meat.
Pliny the Elder
In wine there is health (In vino sanitas)
Pliny the Elder
Lust is an enemy to the purse, a foe to the person, a canker to the mind, a corrosive to the conscience, a weakness of the wit, a besotter of the senses, and finally, a mortal bane to all the body.
Pliny the Elder
No man's abilities are so remarkably shining as not to stand in need of a proper opportunity.
Pliny the Elder
