More quotes by Pliny the Elder

Pliny the Elder

Pliny the Elder

Pliny the Elder
Why is it that we entertain the belief that for every purpose odd numbers are the most effectual?
Pliny the Elder
Example is the softest and least invidious way of commanding.
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
The graceful tear that streams for others' Man is the weeping animal born to govern all the rest.
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
The happier the moment the shorter.
Pliny the Elder
In these matters the only certainty is that nothing is certain.
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
