Plutarch
What most of all enables a man to serve the public is not wealth, but content and independence which, requiring no superfluity at home, distracts not the mind from the common good.
Plutarch
If I were not Alexander, I would be Diogenes.
Plutarch
It is circumstance and proper measure that give an action its character, and make it either good or bad.
Plutarch

Plutarch
The belly has no ears.
Plutarch
It is not reasonable that he who does not shoot should hit the mark, nor that he who does not stand fast at his post should win the day, or that the helpless man should succeed or the coward prosper.
Plutarch
