Quotes by Aesop

Aesop

Kindness affects more than severity.

The injury we do and the one we suffer are not weighed in the same scales.

Injuries may be forgiven but not forgotten.

Our insignificance is often the cause of our safety.

Plodding wins the race.

He that is discontented in one place will seldom be happy in another.

It is vain to expect our prayers to be heard if we do not strive as well as pray.

After the rain cometh the fair weather.

We would often be sorry if our wishes were gratified.

Little by little does the trick.

After all is said and done, more is said than done.

United we stand, divided we fall.

It is not only fine feathers that make fine birds.

A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety.

Gratitude is the sign of noble souls.

Example is the best precept.

A liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth.

Every truth has two sides; it is as well to look at both, before we commit ourselves to either.

The level of our success is limited only by our imagination and no act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted.

Appearances are often deceiving.
