QUOTATIONS FROM THE HISTORICAL NOVELS OF GEORG EBERS

UARDA, by Georg Ebers, v1 [GE#01][ge01v10.txt]5439

A dirty road serves when it makes for the goal Colored cakes in the shape of beasts Deficient are as guilty in their eyes as the idle For fear of the toothache, had his sound teeth drawn Hatred between man and man Hatred for all that hinders the growth of light How tender is thy severity Judge only by appearances, and never enquire into the causes Often happens that apparent superiority does us damage Seditious words are like sparks, which are borne by the wind The scholar's ears are at his back: when he is flogged Title must not be a bill of fare Youth should be modest, and he was assertive

UARDA, by Georg Ebers, v2 [GE#02][ge02v10.txt]5440

Blossom of the thorny wreath of sorrow Eyes kind and frank, without tricks of glance Money is a pass-key that turns any lock Repugnance for the old laws began to take root in his heart Thou canst say in words what we can only feel Whether the form of our benevolence does more good or mischief

UARDA, by Georg Ebers, v3 [GE#03][ge03v10.txt]5441

Bearers of ill ride faster than the messengers of weal Do not spoil the future for the sake of the present Exhibit one's happiness in the streets, and conceal one's misery Impartial looker-on sees clearer than the player Learn to obey, that later you may know how to command Man has nothing harder to endure than uncertainty Many creditors are so many allies One should give nothing up for lost excepting the dead Our thinkers are no heroes, and our heroes are no sages Overbusy friends are more damaging than intelligent enemies Prepare sorrow when we come into the world The experienced love to signify their superiority We quarrel with no one more readily than with the benefactor

UARDA, by Georg Ebers, v4 [GE#04][ge04v10.txt]5442

Ardently they desire that which transcends sense Every misfortune brings its fellow with it Medicines work harm as often as good No good excepting that from which we expect the worst Obstinacy--which he liked to call firm determination Only the choice between lying and silence Patronizing friendliness Principle of over-estimating the strength of our opponents Provide yourself with a self-devised ruler Successes, like misfortunes, never come singly The beginning of things is not more attractive

UARDA, by Georg Ebers, v5 [GE#05][ge05v10.txt]5443

Ask for what is feasible I know that I am of use Like the cackle of hens, which is peculiar to Eastern women Think of his wife, not with affection only, but with pride Those whom we fear, says my uncle, we cannot love

UARDA, by Georg Ebers, v6 [GE#06][ge06v10.txt]5444

Her white cat was playing at her feet Human sacrifices, which had been introduced into Egypt by the Phoenicians The dressing and undressing of the holy images Thought that the insane were possessed by demons Use words instead of swords, traps instead of lances

UARDA, by Georg Ebers, v7 [GE#07][ge07v10.txt]5445

Age when usually even bad liquor tastes of honey How easy it is to give wounds, and how hard it is to heal Kisra called wine the soap of sorrow No one so self-confident and insolent as just such an idiot The mother of foresight looks backwards

UARDA, by Georg Ebers, v8 [GE#08][ge08v10.txt]5446

An admirer of the lovely color of his blue bruises Called his daughter to wash his feet Desert is a wonderful physician for a sick soul He is clever and knows everything, but how silly he looks now If it were right we should not want to hide ourselves None of us really know anything rightly One falsehood usually entails another Refreshed by the whip of one of the horsemen

UARDA, by Georg Ebers, v9 [GE#09][ge09v10.txt]5447

He who looks for faith must give faith I have never deviated from the exact truth even in jest Learn early to pass lightly over little things Trustfulness is so dear, so essential to me

UARDA, by Georg Ebers, v10 [GE#10][ge10v10.txt]5448

Drink of the joys of life thankfully, and in moderation It is not seeing, it is seeking that is delightful The man within him, and not on the circumstances without

UARDA, by Ebers, Complete [GE#11][ge11v10.txt]5449

AN EGYPTIAN PRINCESS, by Georg Ebers, v1 [GE#12][ge12v10.txt]5450

Did the ancients know anything of love Folly to fret over what cannot be undone Go down into the grave before us (Our children) He who kills a cat is punished (for murder) In those days men wept, as well as women Lovers delighted in nature then as now Multitude who, like the gnats, fly towards every thing brilliant Olympics--The first was fixed 776 B.C. Papyrus Ebers Pious axioms to be repeated by the physician, while compounding Romantic love, as we know it, a result of Christianity True host puts an end to the banquet Whether the historical romance is ever justifiable

AN EGYPTIAN PRINCESS, by Georg Ebers, v2 [GE#13][ge13v10.txt]5451

Avoid excessive joy as well as complaining grief Cast off all care; be mindful only of pleasure Creed which views life as a short pilgrimage to the grave Does happiness consist then in possession Happiness has nothing to do with our outward circumstances In our country it needs more courage to be a coward Observe a due proportion in all things One must enjoy the time while it is here Pilgrimage to the grave, and death as the only true life Robes cut as to leave the right breast uncovered The priests are my opponents, my masters Time is clever in the healing art We live for life, not for death

AN EGYPTIAN PRINCESS, by Georg Ebers, v3 [GE#14][ge14v10.txt]5452

A kind word hath far more power than an angry one Abuse not those who have outwitted thee Cannot understand how trifles can make me so happy Confess I would rather provoke a lioness than a woman Curiosity is a woman's vice I cannot . . . Say rather: I will not In this immense temple man seemed a dwarf in his own eyes Know how to honor beauty; and prove it by taking many wives Mosquito-tower with which nearly every house was provided Natural impulse which moves all old women to favor lovers Sent for a second interpreter Sing their libels on women (Greek Philosophers) Those are not my real friends who tell me I am beautiful Young Greek girls pass their sad childhood in close rooms

AN EGYPTIAN PRINCESS, by Georg Ebers, v4 [GE#15][ge15v10.txt]5453

A first impression is often a final one Assigned sixty years as the limit of a happy life At my age every year must be accepted as an undeserved gift Cambyses had been spoiled from his earliest infancy Devoid of occupation, envy easily becomes hatred Easy to understand what we like to hear Eros mocks all human efforts to resist or confine him Eyes are much more eloquent than all the tongues in the world For the errors of the wise the remedy is reparation, not regret Greeks have not the same reverence for truth He who is to govern well must begin by learning to obey In war the fathers live to mourn for their slain sons Inn, was to be found about every eighteen miles Lovers are the most unteachable of pupils The beautiful past is all he has to live upon The gods cast envious glances at the happiness of mortals Unwise to try to make a man happy by force War is a perversion of nature Ye play with eternity as if it were but a passing moment Zeus pays no heed to lovers' oaths

AN EGYPTIAN PRINCESS, by Georg Ebers, v5 [GE#16][ge16v10.txt]5454

Death is so long and life so short No man was allowed to ask anything of the gods for himself Take heed lest pride degenerate into vainglory

AN EGYPTIAN PRINCESS, by Georg Ebers, v6 [GE#17][ge17v10.txt]5455

Call everything that is beyond your comprehension a miracle Never so clever as when we have to find excuses for our own sins So long as we are able to hope and wish

AN EGYPTIAN PRINCESS, by Georg Ebers, v7 [GE#18][ge18v10.txt]5456

Blessings go as quickly as they come Hast thou a wounded heart? touch it seldom Nothing is perfectly certain in this world Only two remedies for heart-sickness:--hope and patience Remember, a lie and your death are one and the same Scarcely be able to use so large a sum--Then abuse it Whatever a man would do himself, he thinks others are capable of When love has once taken firm hold of a man in riper years

AN EGYPTIAN PRINCESS, by Georg Ebers, v8 [GE#19][ge19v10.txt]5457
