Additional quotes by Edith Hamilton

Moderately wise each one should be, Not overwise, for a wise man’s heart Is seldom glad. Cattle die and kindred die. We also die. But I know one thing that never dies, Judgment on each one dead.

None so good that he has no faults, None so wicked that he is worth naught.

The modern mind is never popular in its own day. People hate being made to think.
