Abstain from beans.Plutarch
Silence at the proper season is wisdom, and better than any speech.
Plutarch
To do an evil act is base. To do a good one without incurring danger, is common enough. But it is part of a good man to do great and noble deeds though he risks everything in doing them.
Plutarch

Plutarch
Character is simply habit long continued.
Plutarch
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.
