Plutarch
-
The omission of good is no less reprehensible than the commission of evil.
-
To make no mistakes is not in the power of man but from their errors and mistakes the wise and good learn wisdom for the future.
-
It is part of a good man to do great and noble deeds, though he risk everything.
-
Those who aim at great deeds must also suffer greatly.
-
Do not speak of your happiness to one less fortunate than yourself.
