A woman's greatest glory is to be little talked about by men, whether for good or ill.
Pericles Fishes live in the sea, as men do on land: the great ones eat up the little ones. Pericles For famous men have the whole earth as their memorial. Pericles For heroes have the whole earth for their tomb. Pericles Freedom is the sure possession of those alone who have the courage to defend it. Pericles Having knowledge but lacking the power to express it clearly is no better than never having any ideas at all. Pericles Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you. Pericles Our love of what is beautiful does not lead to extravagance; our love of the things of the mind does not make us soft. Pericles The whole earth is the tomb of heroic men and their story is not given only on stone over their clay but abides everywhere without visible symbol woven into the stuff of other mens lives. Pericles Time is the king of all men, he is their parent and their grave, and gives them what he will and not what they crave. Pericles Time is the wisest counsellor of all. Pericles Trees, though they are cut and loped, grow up again quickly, but if men are destroyed, it is not easy to get them again. Pericles Wait for the wisest of all councilors, time. Pericles Wait for the wisest of all counselors, Time. Pericles We do not imitate, but are a model to others. Pericles What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others. Pericles |
