He who is to be a good ruler must have first been ruled.
Aristotle
In making a speech one must study three points: first, the means of producing persuasion; second, the language; third the proper arrangement of the various parts of the speech.
Aristotle
For though we love both the truth and our friends, piety requires us to honor the truth first.
Aristotle
There are three kinds of intelligence: one kind understands things for itself, the other appreciates what others can understand, the third understands neither for itself nor through others. This first kind is excellent, the second good, and the third kind useless.
Niccolo Machiavelli
The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him.
Niccolo Machiavelli
Men rise from one ambition to another: first, they seek to secure themselves against attack, and then they attack others.
Niccolo Machiavelli
The truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable.
James A. Garfield
A little simplification would be the first step toward rational living, I think.
Eleanor Roosevelt
First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity.
George Bernard Shaw
For a man to conquer himself is the first and noblest of all victories.
Plato
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no point in being a damn fool about it.
W. C. Fields
The first and greatest victory is to conquer yourself; to be conquered by yourself is of all things most shameful and vile.
Plato
There's a victory, and defeat; the first and best of victories, the lowest and worst of defeats which each man gains or sustains at the hands not of another, but of himself.
Plato
We ought to esteem it of the greatest importance that the fictions which children first hear should be adapted in the most perfect manner to the promotion of virtue.
Plato
Justice in the life and conduct of the State is possible only as first it resides in the hearts and souls of the citizens.
Plato
This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector.
Plato
Illusion is the first of all pleasures.
Voltaire
What is tolerance? It is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty and error; let us pardon reciprocally each other's folly - that is the first law of nature.
Voltaire
The first step, my son, which one makes in the world, is the one on which depends the rest of our days.
Voltaire
We are all full of weakness and errors; let us mutually pardon each other our follies - it is the first law of nature.
Voltaire
