7 Quotes By Solon That Will Help You To Achieve True Success In Life
Solon was an Athenian statesman, lawmaker, and Lyric poet, renowned as a founding father of the Athenian polis. The travel writer, Pausanias, listed Solon among the Seven Sages of the ancient world. Solon has acquired a place in history and in folklore through his efforts to legislate against political, economic and moral decline in archaic Athens. Some of his reforms failed in the short term, yet he is often credited with having laid the foundations for Athenian democracy. These quotes below are a proof of the wisdom he gained through his experiences.
1. “In all things that you do, consider the end.”
2. “Seek to learn constantly while you live; do not wait in the faith that old age by itself will bring wisdom.”
3. “He who has learned how to obey will know how to command.”
4. “Put more trust in nobility of character than in an oath.”
5. “I grow old learning something new everyday.”
6. “Speech is the image of actions.”
