Lessons
Isocrates, To Demonicus 19 (tr. David Mirhady):
Newer› ‹Older
Believe that many lessons are better than many possessions, for possessions disappear quickly, but lessons remain for all time.See Paul Wendland, Anaximenes von Lampsakos: Studien zur ältesten Geschichte der Rhetorik (Berlin: Weidmannsche Buchhandlung, 1905), p. 93, n. 3.
ἡγοῦ τῶν ἀκουσμάτων πολλὰ πολλῶν εἶναι χρημάτων κρείττω· τὰ μὲν γὰρ ταχέως ἀπολείπει, τὰ δὲ πάντα τὸν χρόνον παραμένει.
