It is a way of life  (Plutarch Quotes) Cato requested old men not to add the disgrace of wickedness to old age, which was accompanied with many other evils  (Plutarch Quotes) For the mind does not require filling like a bottle, but rather, like wood, it only requires kindling to create in it an impulse to think independently and an ardent desire for the truth  (Plutarch Quotes) The same intelligence is required to marshal an army in battle and to order a good dinner. The first must be as formidable as possible, the second as pleasant as possible, to the participants  (Plutarch Quotes) Moral good is a practical stimulus; it is no sooner seen than it inspires an impulse to practice  (Plutarch Quotes) The measure of a man’s life is the well spending of it, and not the length  (Plutarch Quotes) The obligations of law and equity reach only to mankind; but kindness and beneficence should be extended to the creatures of every species, and these will flow from the breast of a true man, as streams that issue from the living fountain  (Plutarch Quotes) Note that the eating of flesh is not only physically against nature, but it also makes us spiritually coarse and gross by reason of satiety and surfeit  (Plutarch Quotes) The giving of riches and honors to a wicked man is like giving strong wine to him that hath a fever  (Plutarch Quotes) Cato used to assert that wise men profited more by fools than fools by wise men; for that wise men avoided the faults of fools, but that fools would not imitate the good examples of wise men  (Plutarch Quotes) A good man will take care of his horses and dogs, not only while they are young, but also when they are old and past service  (Plutarch Quotes) I do not think that shoemaker a good workman that makes a great shoe for a little foot  (Plutarch Quotes)
