Herodotus quotes - page 4

The destiny of man is in his own soul. (Herodotus)

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.

Herodotus

It's impossible for someone who is human to have all good things together, just as there is no single country able to provide all good things for itself.

Herodotus

These (messengers) will not be hindered from accomplishing at their best speed the distance which they have to go, either by snow, or rain, or heat, or by the darkness of night.

Herodotus

The worst pain a man can suffer: to have insight into much and power over nothing.
