More quotes by Pliny the Elder
God has no power over the past except to cover it with oblivion.
Pliny the Elder
A short death is the sovereign good hap of human life.
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
Simple diet is best: for many dishes bring many diseases, and rich sauces are worse than even heaping several meats upon each other.
Pliny the Elder
Nothing is more useful than wine for strengthening the body and also more detrimental to our pleasure if moderation be lacking.
Pliny the Elder
Man is the only one that knows nothing, that can learn nothing without being taught. He can neither speak nor walk nor eat, and in short he can do nothing at the prompting of nature only, but weep.
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
...shellfish are the prime cause of the decline of morals and the adaptation of an extravagant lifestyle. Indeed of the whole realm of Nature the sea is in many ways the most harmful to the stomach, with its great variety of dishes and tasty fish.
Pliny the Elder
From the end spring new beginnings.
Pliny the Elder
Wine refreshes the stomach, sharpens the appetite, blunts care and sadness, and conduces to slumber.
Pliny the Elder
His only fault is that he has no fault.
Pliny the Elder
The only thing man knows instinctively is how to weep.
Pliny the Elder
The enjoyments of this life are not equal to its evils.
Pliny the Elder
No one is wise at all times.
Pliny the Elder
Example is the softest and least invidious way of commanding.
Pliny the Elder
Hope is a working-man's dream.
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
Wine takes away reason, engenders insanity, leads to thousands of crimes, and imposes such an enormous expense on nations.
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
Our civilization depends largely on paper.
Pliny the Elder
