More quotes by Pliny the Elder
The best kind of wine is that which is most pleasant to him who drinks it.
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
It has been observed that the height of a man from the crown of the head to the sole of the foot is equal to the distance between the tips of the middle fingers of the two hands when extended in a straight line.
Pliny the Elder
No book so bad but some part may be of use.
Pliny the Elder
The desire to know a thing is heightened by its gratification being deferred.
Pliny the Elder
Truth comes out in wine.
Pliny the Elder
No one is wise at all times.

Pliny the Elder

Pliny the Elder
Better do nothing than do ill.
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
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
Nature has given man no better thing than shortness of life.
Pliny the Elder
It [the earth] alone remains immoveable, whilst all things revolve round it.
Pliny the Elder
