Plutarch
It is no great wonder if in long process of time, while fortune takes her course hither and thither, numerous coincidences should spontaneously occur. If the number and variety of subjects to be wrought upon be infinite, it is all the more easy for fortune, with such an abundance of material, to effect this similarity of results.
Plutarch
He who first called money the sinews of the state seems to have said this with special reference to war.
Plutarch
King Agis said, The Lacedæmonians are not wont to ask how many, but where the enemy are.
Plutarch
It is a hard matter, my fellow citizens, to argue with the belly, since it has no ears.
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
What is bigger than an elephant? But this also is become man's plaything, and a spectacle at public solemnities and it learns to skip, dance, and kneel
Plutarch
