Plutarch
He is a fool who lets slip a bird in the hand for a bird in the bush.
Plutarch
Our nature holds so much envy and malice that our pleasure in our own advantages is not so great as our distress at others'.
Plutarch
Caesar's wife should be above suspicion.
Plutarch
Wickedness frames the engines of her own torment. She is a wonderful artisan of a miserable life.
Plutarch
It is not the most distinguished achievements that men's virtues or vices may be best discovered but very often an action of small note. An casual remark or joke shall distinguish a person's real character more than the greatest sieges, or the most important battles.
Plutarch

Plutarch

Plutarch
I see the cure is not worth the pain.
Plutarch
Grief is natural the absence of all feeling is undesirable, but moderation in grief should be observed, as in the face of all good or evil.
Plutarch
He who busies himself in mean occupations, produces in the very pains he takes about things of little or no use, an evidence against himself of his negligence and indisposition to what is really good
Plutarch
I am whatever was, or is, or will be and my veil no mortal ever took up.
Plutarch
Zeno first started that doctrine, that knavery is the best defence against a knave.
Plutarch
Painting is silent poetry.
Plutarch
Learn to be pleased with everything...because it could always be worse, but isn't!
Plutarch
The drop hollows out the stone not by strength, but by constant falling.
Plutarch
It is no disgrace not to be able to do everything but to undertake, or pretend to do, what you are not made for, is not only shameful, but extremely troublesome and vexatious.
Plutarch
Poverty is never dishonourable in itself, but only when it is a mark of sloth, intemperance, extravagance, or thoughtlessness. When, on the other hand, it is the handmaid of a sober, industrious, righteous, and brave man, who devotes all his powers to the service of the people, it is the sign of a lofty spirit that harbours no mean thoughts
Plutarch
Pompey had fought brilliantly and in the end routed Caesar's whole force... but either he was unable to or else he feared to push on. Caesar [said] to his friends: 'Today the enemy would have won, if they had had a commander who was a winner.'
Plutarch
