Quote by Plutarch (40-120)

• What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.

• Do not speak of your happiness to one less fortunate than yourself.

• Know how to listen, and you will profit even from those who talk badly.

• Nor is it always in the most distinguished achievements that men's virtues or vices may be best discovered: but very often an action of small note, a short saying, or a jest, shall distinguish a person's real character more than the greatest sieges, or the most important battle.

• It is certainly desirable to be well descended, but the glory belongs to our ancestors.

• To find a fault is easy; to do better may be difficult.
