Additional quotes by Plutarch

Many things which cannot be overcome when they are together yield
themselves up when taken little by little.

They died,but not as lavish as their blood,
Or thinking death itself was simply good;
Their wishes neither were to live nor die,
But to do both alike commendably.

[The Spartans] should not make war often, or long, with the same enemy, lest that they should train and instruct them in war, by habituating them to defend themselves.
