Plutarch Quotes

Plutarch was a Greek historian and essayist whose biographical works have shaped how we understand figures from the ancient world. His own observations -- on education, character, and inner life -- remain sharp and surprisingly modern. He wrote with the conviction that what happens inside a person matters more than outward circumstances.
