It is better by noble boldness to run the risk of being subject to half the evils we anticipate than to remain in cowardly listlessness for fear of what might happen.
Quotes by Herodotus
A woman takes off her claim to respect along with her garments.
Men trust their ears less than their eyes.
Not snow, no, nor heat, nor night keeps them from accomplishing their appointed courses with all speed. Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds. -Inscription, New York City Post Office adapted from Herodotus.
This is the bitterest pain among men, to have much knowledge but no power.
Call no man happy before he dies.
Haste in every business brings failure.
Great deeds are usually wrought at great risks.
Force has no place where there is need of skill.
It is better to be envied than pitied.
