Plutarch
Nothing made the horse so fat as the king's eye.
Plutarch
As in the case of painters, who have undertaken to give us a beautiful and graceful figure, which may have some slight blemishes, we do not wish then to pass over such blemishes altogether, nor yet to mark them too prominently. The one would spoil the beauty, and the other destroy the likeness of the picture.
Plutarch

Plutarch

The Epicureans, according to whom animals had no creation, doe suppose that by mutation of one into another, they were first made for they are the substantial part of the world like as Anaxagoras and Euripides affirme in these tearmes: nothing dieth, but in changing as they doe one for another they show sundry formes.
Plutarch
It is a difficult task, O citizens, to make speeches to the belly, which has no ears.
Plutarch
Silence at the proper season is wisdom, and better than any speech.
Plutarch
The human heart becomes softened by hearing of instances of gentleness and consideration.
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
Of all the disorders in the soul, envy is the only one no one confesses to.
Plutarch
It were better to have no opinion of God at all than such a one as is unworthy of him for the one is only belief - the other contempt.
Plutarch
