More quotes by Pliny the Elder
It [the earth] alone remains immoveable, whilst all things revolve round it.
Pliny the Elder
There is, to be sure, no evil without something good.
Pliny the Elder
Nothing is more useful than wine for strengthening the body and also more detrimental to our pleasure if moderation be lacking.
Pliny the Elder
Hope is a working-man's dream.
Pliny the Elder
...shellfish are the prime cause of the decline of morals and the adaptation of an extravagant lifestyle. Indeed of the whole realm of Nature the sea is in many ways the most harmful to the stomach, with its great variety of dishes and tasty fish.
Pliny the Elder
No man's abilities are so remarkably shining as not to stand in need of a proper opportunity.
Pliny the Elder
Envy always implies conscious inferiority wherever it resides.
Pliny the Elder
The enjoyments of this life are not equal to its evils.
Pliny the Elder
We listen with deep interest to what we hear, for to man novelty is ever charming.
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
His only fault is that he has no fault.
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
Why do we believe that in all matters the odd numbers are more powerful?
Pliny the Elder
God has no power over the past except to cover it with oblivion.
Pliny the Elder
Our youth and manhood are due to our country, but our declining years are due to ourselves.
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
In time of sickness the soul collects itself anew.
Pliny the Elder
Why is it that we entertain the belief that for every purpose odd numbers are the most effectual?
Pliny the Elder
Truth comes out in wine.
Pliny the Elder
Nature is to be found in her entirety nowhere more than in her smallest creatures.
Pliny the Elder
