GREEK SAYINGS
Proverbs and bon mots are found in all literatures, no less so in ancient Greece. Here we find a people who had a thirst for life, who were blessed with the intellectual prowess to bequeath to posterity a body of wisdom unequalled for its plainness of diction, sincerity of purpose and universality of application.
It is hoped that this little collection of Greek sayings and quotations may serve to inspire and delight – κτῆμα ἐς αεί – a possession for all time.
