More quotes by Plutarch
Proper listening is the foundation of proper living.
Plutarch
It is not the most distinguished achievements that men's virtues or vices may be best discovered but very often an action of small note. An casual remark or joke shall distinguish a person's real character more than the greatest sieges, or the most important battles.
Plutarch
Courage and wisdom are, indeed, rarities amongst men, but of all that is good, a just man it would seem is the most scarce.
Plutarch
Distressed valor challenges great respect, even from an enemy.
Plutarch
Gout is not relieved by a fine shoe nor a hangnail by a costly ring nor migraine by a tiara.
Plutarch
Water continually dropping will wear hard rocks hollow.
Plutarch
Speech is like cloth of Arras opened and put abroad, whereby the imagery doth appear in figure whereas in thoughts they lie but as packs.
Plutarch
Beauty is the flower of virtue.
Plutarch
As soft wax is apt to take the stamp of the seal, so are the minds of young children to receive the instruction imprinted on them.
Plutarch
Wisdom is neither gold, nor silver, nor fame, nor wealth, nor health, nor strength, nor beauty.
Plutarch
When malice is joined to envy, there is given forth poisonous and feculent matter, as ink from the cuttle-fish.
Plutarch
Nothing exists in the intellect that has not first gone through the senses.
Plutarch
It is a hard matter, my fellow citizens, to argue with the belly, since it has no ears.
Plutarch
Instead of using medicine, better fast today.
Plutarch
Nothing can produce so great a serenity of life as a mind free from guilt and kept untainted, not only from actions, but purposes that are wicked. By this means the soul will be not only unpolluted but also undisturbed. The fountain will run clear and unsullied.
Plutarch
Silence at the proper season is wisdom, and better than any speech.
Plutarch
To please the many is to displease the wise.
Plutarch
To Harmodius, descended from the ancient Harmodius, when he reviled Iphicrates [a shoemaker's son] for his mean birth, My nobility, said he, begins in me, but yours ends in you.
Plutarch
Let us carefully observe those good qualities wherein our enemies excel us and endeavor to excel them, by avoiding what is faulty, and imitating what is excellent in them.
Plutarch
He is a fool who lets slip a bird in the hand for a bird in the bush.
Plutarch
