More quotes by 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
Nulla dies sine linea - Not a day without a line.
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
The best kind of wine is that which is most pleasant to him who drinks it.
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
In wine there is health (In vino sanitas)
Pliny the Elder
The best plan is to profit by the folly of others.
Pliny the Elder
Suicide is a privilege of man which deity does not possess.
Pliny the Elder
As in our lives so also in our studies, it is most becoming and most wise, so to temper gravity with cheerfulness, that the former may not imbue our minds with melancholy, nor the latter degenerate into licentiousness.
Pliny the Elder
An object in possession seldom retains the same charm that it had in pursuit.
Pliny the Elder
The leading distinction in magnets is the sex, male and female, and the next great difference in them is the colour. Those of Magnesia, bordering on Macedonia, are of a reddish black those of Breotia are more red than black and the kind that is found in Troas is black, of the female sex, and consequently destitute of attractive power.
Pliny the Elder
We live by reposing trust in each other.
Pliny the Elder
We listen with deep interest to what we hear, for to man novelty is ever charming.
Pliny the Elder
It is a maxim universally agreed upon in agriculture, that nothing must be done too late and again, that everything must be done at its proper season while there is a third precept which reminds us that opportunities lost can never be regained.
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
It [the earth] alone remains immoveable, whilst all things revolve round it.
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
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
Our civilization depends largely on paper.
Pliny the Elder
