Courage consists not in hazarding without fear; but being resolutely minded in a just cause.

Plutarch

Perseverance is more prevailing than violence and many things which cannot be overcome when they are together, yield themselves up when taken little by little.

Plutarch

I don’t need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better.

Plutarch

For to err in opinion, though it be not the part of wise men, is at least human.

Plutarch

Learn to be pleased with everything with wealth, so far as it makes us beneficial to others with poverty, for not having much to care for, and with obscurity, for being unenvied.

Plutarch
