Plutarch
Moral habits, induced by public practices, are far quicker in making their way into men's private lives, than the failings and faults of individuals are in infecting the city at large.
Plutarch
The real destroyer of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations and benefits.
Plutarch
Dionysius the Elder, being asked whether he was at leisure, he replied, God forbid that it should ever befall me!
Plutarch
Wisdom is neither gold, nor silver, nor fame, nor wealth, nor health, nor strength, nor beauty.
Plutarch
When the candles are out all women are fair.
Plutarch
He who busies himself in mean occupations, produces in the very pains he takes about things of little or no use, an evidence against himself of his negligence and indisposition to what is really good
Plutarch
