Greece | Good Quotes

Young people are in a condition like permanent intoxication, because youth is sweet and they are growing

Think not those faithful who praise all thy words and actions; but those who kindly reprove thy faults

Remember what is unbecoming to do is also unbecoming to speak of

Remember that there is nothing stable in human affairs; therefore avoid undue elation in prosperity, or undue depression in adversity

Envy is the ulcer of the soul

Man perfected by society is the best of all animals; he is the most terrible of all when he lives without law, and without justice

Law is mind without reason

Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something

Thinking is the talking of the soul with itself

It is easy to be brave from a safe distance

Injuries may be forgiven, but not forgotten

In critical moments even the very powerful have need of the weakest

Better be wise by the misfortunes of others than by your own

Your very silence shows you agree

The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise man
