More quotes by Pliny the Elder
Suicide is a privilege of man which deity does not possess.
Pliny the Elder
In comparing various authors with one another, I have discovered that some of the gravest and latest writers have transcribed, word for word, from former works, without making acknowledgment.
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
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
The brain is the citadel of sense perception.
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
Why do we believe that in all matters the odd numbers are more powerful?
Pliny the Elder
The best plan is to profit by the folly of others.
Pliny the Elder
There is, to be sure, no evil without something good.
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
An object in possession seldom retains the same charm that it had in pursuit.
Pliny the Elder
In time of sickness the soul collects itself anew.
Pliny the Elder
True glory consists in doing what deserves to be written, and writing what deserves to be read.
Pliny the Elder
Nature is to be found in her entirety nowhere more than in her smallest creatures.
Pliny the Elder
Our civilization depends largely on paper.
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
No one is wise at all times.
Pliny the Elder
We live by reposing trust in each other.
Pliny the Elder
Hope is a working-man's dream.
Pliny the Elder
Better do nothing than do ill.
Pliny the Elder
