    About this ebook

    This book is an anthology of quotes from Hesiod and selected facts about Hesiod.

    “Acquisition means life to miserable mortals.”
    “Actions from youth, advice from the middle-aged, prayers from the aged.”
    “Do not let any sweet-talking woman beguile your good sense with the fascinations of her shape. It's your barn she's after.”
    “Do not seek evil gains; evil gains are the equivalent of disaster.”
    “For a man wins nothing better than a good wife, and then again nothing deadlier than a bad one.”
    “Giving is good, but taking is bad and brings death.”
    “Happy is the man whom the Muses love: sweet speech flows from his mouth.”
    “He is a fool who tries to match his strength with the stronger. He will lose his battle, and with the shame will be hurt also.”
    “If you should put even a little on a little and should do this often, soon this would become big.”
    “It is not possible either to trick or escape the mind of Zeus.”
    “It will not always be summer; build barns.”
