Raising children is an uncertain thing; success is reached only after a life of battle and worry.
Democritus
People sometimes rationalize their greed by saying that it is all for the good of their children but this is nothing but an excuse they use to make their despicable actions appear respectable and praiseworthy.
Democritus
Whatever a poet writes with enthusiasm and a divine inspiration is very fine. Earliest reference to the madness or divine inspiration of poets.
Democritus
Do not trust all men, but trust men of worth; the former course is silly, the latter a mark of prudence.
Democritus
