Learn to be pleased with everything...because it could always be worse, but isn't!
Plutarch
He [Caesar] loved the treason, but hated the traitor.
Plutarch
Prosperity is no just scale adversity is the only balance to weigh friends.
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.

Plutarch
Anger turns the mind out of doors and bolts the entrance.
Plutarch
A Locanian having plucked all the feathers off from a nightingale and seeing what a little body it had, surely, quoth he, thou art all voice and nothing else.
Plutarch
For the mind does not require filling like a bottle, but rather, like wood, it only requires kindling to create in it an impulse to think independently and an ardent desire for the truth.
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
There is no debt with so much prejudice put off as that of justice.
Plutarch
Among real friends there is no rivalry or jealousy of one another, but they are satisfied and contented alike whether they are equal or one of them is superior.
Plutarch
In words are seen the state of mind and character and disposition of the speaker.
