Character: Thales

"Surpluses - nothing!" Well that watches over your limit.

Him [Thales] said, what in the world is difficult? - "Know yourself". What is easy? - "To advise another." What is most pleasant? - "Luck". That the divine? - "What has neither beginning nor end". What he saw unprecedented? - "The tyrant of old age." When it is easier to bear a misfortune? - "When you see the enemies even worse." What kind of life is the best and fair? "When we make ourselves what we condemn in others." Who is happy? "One who has a healthy body, sensitive soul and susceptible to education."

One adulterer asked him: "do Not swear me, I never played the harlot?" Thales replied, "Adultery is not better of perjury".

... is it possible to hide from the gods a bad thing. - Not even a bad meditation!

... between life and death is no difference. - "Why won't you die?" - I asked him. "That's why"

Ancient of all things is God, for he is not born.
Most beautiful - the world, for he is God's creation.
Most of all - space, because it encompasses everything.
The fastest - um, because he runs around all.
More likely - inevitable, because she dominates everything.
Wiser all the time, for it reveals all.

A lot of it on his lips - not a guarantee of understanding.
The wisdom of a single know of a single good look.
Just that you will connect Prazdnikova languages.

Well, Thales? You don't see it under my feet, and I hope to know what is in the heavens?

Act in small, shallow,
And among the big and he increasing.

Who with small lives and small busy
The small business creates.
With great - great and small will become.
