Additional quotes by Plutarch

Or is it that of all numbers nine is the first square from the odd and perfect triad, while eight is the first cube from the even dyad? Now a man should be four-square, eminent, and perfect; but a woman, like a cube, should be stable, domestic, and difficult to remove from her place.

I am all that hath been, and is, and shall be; and my veil no mortal has hitherto raised.

To make no mistakes is not in the power of man; but from their errors and mistakes the wise and good learn wisdom for the future.

[It was] better to set up a monarchy themselves than to suffer a sedition to continue that must certainly end in one. - Plutarch
