Concerning the dead nothing b...

Concerning the dead nothing but good shall be spoken. [Lat., De mortuis nil nisi bonum.]

Plutarch 385 quotes

We ought to give our friend p...

We ought to give our friend pain if it will benefit him, but not to the extent of breaking off our friendship; but just as we make use of some biting medicine that will save and preserve the life of the patient. And so the friend, like a musician, in bringing about an improvement to what is good and expedient, sometimes slackens the chords, sometimes tightens them, and is often pleasant, but always useful.

Plutarch 385 quotes

If any man think it a small m...

If any man think it a small matter, or of mean concernment, to bridle his tongue, he is much mistaken; for it is a point to be silent when occasion requires, and better than to speak, though never so well.

Plutarch 385 quotes

It is no flattery to give a f...

It is no flattery to give a friend a due character; for commendation is as much the duty of a friend as reprehension.

Plutarch 385 quotes

These Macedonians are a rude and clownish people; they call a spade a spade.

Plutarch 385 quotes

For there is no virtue, the h...

For there is no virtue, the honour and credit for which procures a man more odium from the elite than that of justice; and this, because more than any other, it acquires a man power and authority among the common people. For they only honour the valiant and admire the wise, while in addition they also love just men, and put entire trust and confidence in them.

As soft wax is apt to take the stamp of the seal, so are the minds of young children to receive the instruction imprinted on them.

Knavery is the best defense against a knave.

Plutarch 385 quotes

When Anaxagoras was told of t...

When Anaxagoras was told of the death of his son, he only said, "I knew he was mortal." So we in all casualties of life should say "I knew my riches were uncertain, that my friend was but a man." Such considerations would soon pacify us, because all our troubles proceed from their being unexpected.

Plutarch 385 quotes

The flatterer's object is to ...

The flatterer's object is to please in everything he does; whereas the true friend always does what is right, and so often gives pleasure, often pain, not wishing the latter, but not shunning it either, if he deems it best.

Proper listening is the foundation of proper living.

The poor go to war, to fight and die for the delights, riches, and superfluities of others.

We are more sensible of what is done against custom than against nature.

Socrates said he was not an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of the world.

Wisdom is neither gold, nor silver, nor fame, nor wealth, nor health, nor strength, nor beauty.

No beast is more savage than man when possessed with power answerable to his rage.

God is the brave man's hope, and not the coward's excuse.
