Plutarch
What can they suffer that do not fear to die?
Plutarch
What All The World Knows Water is the principle, or the element, of things. All things are water.
Plutarch
Lycurgus the Lacedæmonian brought long hair into fashion among his countrymen, saying that it rendered those that were handsome more beautiful, and those that were deformed more terrible.

Plutarch
