What All The World Knows Wate...

What All The World Knows Water is the principle, or the element, of things. All things are water.

Plutarch 385 quotes

It is not histories I am writ...

It is not histories I am writing, but lives; and in the most glorious deeds there is not always an indication of virtue or vice, indeed a small thing like a phrase or a jest often makes a greater revelation of a character than battles where thousands die.

Plutarch 385 quotes

There is no stronger test of ...

There is no stronger test of a person's character than power and authority, exciting as they do every passion, and discovering every latent vice.

Plutarch 385 quotes

Beauty is the flower of virtu...

Beauty is the flower of virtue.

Plutarch 385 quotes

And Archimedes, as he was was...

And Archimedes, as he was washing, thought of a manner of computing the proportion of gold in King Hiero's crown by seeing the water flowing over the bathing-stool. He leaped up as one possessed or inspired, crying, "I have found it! Eureka!".

Plutarch 385 quotes

Man is neither by birth nor d...

Man is neither by birth nor disposition a savage, nor of unsocial habits, but only becomes so by indulging in vices contrary to his nature.

Plutarch 385 quotes

A remorseful change of mind r...

A remorseful change of mind renders even a noble action base, whereas the determination which is grounded on knowledge and reason cannot change even if its actions fail.

Plutarch 385 quotes

It is the admirer of himself,...

It is the admirer of himself, and not the admirer of virtue, that thinks himself superior to others.

Plutarch 385 quotes

Cicero called Aristotle a river of flowing gold, and said of Plato's Dialogues, that if Jupiter were to speak, it would be in language like theirs.

He who owns a hundred sheep must fight with fifty wolves

Plutarch 385 quotes

Nature without learning is li...

Nature without learning is like a blind man; learning without Nature, like a maimed one; practice without both, incomplete. As in agriculture a good soil is first sought for, then a skilful husbandman, and then good seed; in the same way nature corresponds to the soil, the teacher to the husbandman, precepts and instruction to the seed.

Plutarch 385 quotes

Wickedness frames the engines...

Wickedness frames the engines of her own torment. She is a wonderful artisan of a miserable life.

Plutarch 385 quotes

The same intelligence is requ...

The same intelligence is required to marshal an army in battle and to order a good dinner. The first must be as formidable as possible, the second as pleasant as possible, to the participants.

Plutarch 385 quotes

Sometimes small incidents, ra...

Sometimes small incidents, rather than glorious exploits, give us the best evidence of character. So, as portrait painters are more exact in doing the face, where the character is revealed, than the rest of the body, I must be allowed to give my more particular attention to the marks of the souls of men.

Plutarch 385 quotes

Let us not wonder if somethin...

Let us not wonder if something happens which never was before, or if something doth not appear among us with which the ancients were acquainted.

Plutarch 385 quotes

Cato used to assert that wise...

Cato used to assert that wise men profited more by fools than fools by wise men; for that wise men avoided the faults of fools, but that fools would not imitate the good examples of wise men.

Plutarch 385 quotes

It is not reasonable that he ...

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 385 quotes

When another is asked a quest...

When another is asked a question, take special care not to interrupt to answer it yourself.

Plutarch 385 quotes

Our senses through ignorance ...

Our senses through ignorance of Reality, falsely tell us that what appears to be, is. FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real

Plutarch 385 quotes

There are two sentences inscr...

There are two sentences inscribed upon the Ancient oracle... "Know thyself" and "Nothing too much"; and upon these all other precepts depend.
