Additional quotes by Plutarch

In a harangue to the people, he said, with reference to these measures, that he had proscribed all he could think of, and as to those who now escaped his memory, he would proscribe them at some future time.

Általában úgy van az, a fáradságos munkát is könnyebben elviseljük, ha valaki szemmel láthatóan azon igyekszik, hogy megossza velünk: így a munkát nem érezzük reánk kényszerített fáradtságnak. A római katona akkor a legboldogabb, ha a hadvezér ugyanazt a kenyeret eszi, amit ő, közönséges tábori ágyon alszik, vele együtt ássa az árkot, veri be a cölöpöt, mikor sáncot készítenek. Nem is a kitüntetéseket vagy pénzjutalmakat osztogató tisztjeikért rajonganak kiváltképpen; azokat szeretik inkább, akik fáradalmakban és veszélyekben osztozkodnak velük. Az effajta tiszthez jobban ragaszkodnak, mint az olyan elnéző emberhez, aki nem bánja, ha könnyebben veszik a dolgot.
