More quotes by Pliny the Elder
No book so bad but some part may be of use.
Pliny the Elder
The agricultural population produces the bravest men, the most valiant soldiers,46 and a class of citizens the least given of all to evil designs.
Pliny the Elder
It [the earth] alone remains immoveable, whilst all things revolve round it.
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
The only thing man knows instinctively is how to weep.
Pliny the Elder
From the end spring new beginnings.
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
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
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
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
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
Nulla dies sine linea - Not a day without a line.
Pliny the Elder
The happier the moment the shorter.
Pliny the Elder
Our civilization depends largely on paper.
Pliny the Elder
Amid the sufferings of life on earth, suicide is God's best gift to man.
Pliny the Elder
Truth comes out in wine.
Pliny the Elder
Hope is the pillar that holds up the world. Hope is the dream of a waking man.
Pliny the Elder
Nature makes us buy her presents at the price of so many sufferings that it is doubtful whether she deserves most the name of parent or stepmother.
Pliny the Elder
No one is wise at all times.
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
