More quotes by 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
We live by reposing trust in each other.
Pliny the Elder
The brain is the citadel of sense perception.
Pliny the Elder
It is this earth that, like a kind mother, receives us at our birth, and sustains us when born it is this alone, of all the elements around us, that is never found an enemy of man.
Pliny the Elder
No man's abilities are so remarkably shining as not to stand in need of a proper opportunity.
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 graceful tear that streams for others' Man is the weeping animal born to govern all the rest.
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
Truth comes out in wine.
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
It has become quite a common proverb that in wine there is truth (In Vino Veritas).
Pliny the Elder
From the end spring new beginnings.
Pliny the Elder
In these matters the only certainty is that nothing is certain.
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 only thing man knows instinctively is how to weep.
Pliny the Elder
The happier the moment the shorter.
Pliny the Elder
No one is wise at all times.
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
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
