“Bad friends bear bad fruit”

κακὸν φέρουσι καρπον οἱ κακοὶ φιλοι

“Boy, seek out a kingdom equal to you: Macedonia will not hold you.”

„ὦ παῖ” φάναι, „ζήτει σεαυτῷ βασιλείαν ἴσην· Μακεδονία γάρ σ’ οὐ χωρεῖ.”

“Speaking appropriately is difficult and hardly confirms faith in the truth.”

χαλεπὸν γὰρ τὸ μετρίως εἰπεῖν ἐν ᾧ μόλις καὶ ἡ δόκησις τῆς ἀληθείας βεβαιοῦται.

“Knowing much doesn’t teach you how to think.”

 

πολυμαθίη νόον ἔχειν οὐ διδάσκει.

 

 

Hera-who?
