More quotes by Pliny the Elder
Example is the softest and least invidious way of commanding.
Pliny the Elder
Our civilization depends largely on paper.
Pliny the Elder
Nulla dies sine linea - Not a day without a line.
Pliny the Elder
The brain is the citadel of sense perception.
Pliny the Elder
An object in possession seldom retains the same charm that it had in pursuit.
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
The best plan is to profit by the folly of others.
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
Grief has limits, whereas apprehension has none. For we grieve only for what we know has happened, but we fear all that possibly may happen.
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 youth and manhood are due to our country, but our declining years are due to ourselves.
Pliny the Elder
Suicide is a privilege of man which deity does not possess.
Pliny the Elder
Hope is a working-man's dream.
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
In wine there is health (In vino sanitas)
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
We live by reposing trust in each other.
Pliny the Elder
The only thing man knows instinctively is how to weep.
Pliny the Elder
All men possess in their bodies a poison which acts upon serpents and the human saliva, it is said, makes them take to flight, as though they had been touched with boiling water. The same substance, it is said, destroys them the moment it enters their throat.
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
