More quotes by Pliny the Elder
Man naturally yearns for novelty.
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
A short death is the sovereign good hap of human life.
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
Many other means there be, that promise the foreknowledge of things to come: besides the raising up and conjuring of ghosts departed, the conference also with familiars and spirits infernal. And all these were found out in our days, to be no better than vanities and false illusions.
Pliny the Elder
Wine maketh the band quivering, the eye watery, the night unquiet, lewd dreams, a stinking breath in the morning, and an utter forgetfulness of all things.
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
Wine refreshes the stomach, sharpens the appetite, blunts care and sadness, and conduces to slumber.
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
Hope is a working-man's dream.
Pliny the Elder
Envy always implies conscious inferiority wherever it resides.
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
The enjoyments of this life are not equal to its evils.
Pliny the Elder
No man's abilities are so remarkably shining as not to stand in need of a proper opportunity.
Pliny the Elder
Amid the sufferings of life on earth, suicide is God's best gift to man.
Pliny the Elder
The graceful tear that streams for others' Man is the weeping animal born to govern all the rest.
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
The best plan is to profit by the folly of others.
Pliny the Elder
The only thing man knows instinctively is how to weep.
Pliny the Elder
Home is where the heart is.
Pliny the Elder
