Democritus
The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
Democritus quotes
It is hard to fight desire; but to control it is the sign of a reasonable man.
Democritus
In cattle excellence is displayed in strength of body; but in men it lies in strength of character.




Democritus quotes
If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
Democritus
To a wise man, the whole earth is open; for the native land of a good soul is the whole earth.
