Plutarch

"All men whilst they are awake are in one common world: but each of them, when he is asleep, is in a world of his own."

"Courage consists not in hazarding without fear; but being resolutely minded in a just cause."

"Courage stands halfway between cowardice and rashness, one of which is a lack, the other an excess of courage."

"Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks."

"Silence at the proper season is wisdom, and better than any speech."

"The very spring and root of honesty and virtue lie in good education."

"The wildest colts make the best horses."

"To be ignorant of the lives of the most celebrated men of antiquity is to continue in a state of childhood all our days."
