Greek historian (430 BC - 354 BC)
The equipment for dogs are collars, leashes, and girths. Let the collars be soft as well as broad, that they may not wear off the dog's hair. Let the leashes have loops for the hand attached to them, but nothing else; for those who form the collars out of the leashes do not manage well for their dogs. Let the girths have broad bands, that they may not gall their flanks; and let there be iron points stitched into them that they may protect the breeds.
XENOPHON
Cynegeticus
In hunting on cultivated grounds, the huntsman must abstain from injuring the fruits of the season, and must leave springs and streams undisturbed; for to interfere with these is contrary to propriety and morality.
XENOPHON
Cynegeticus
Kings, be well assured, experience much less pleasure than persons living in a middle rank of life, and have also more numerous and considerable sources of trouble.
XENOPHON
Hiero
To take from enemies against their will, I consider to be one of the highest gratifications; but favours from objects of affection give us most pleasure when they bestow them voluntarily.
XENOPHON
Hiero
The more dishes a man has on his table beyond what is sufficient, the sooner satiety in eating comes upon him.
XENOPHON
Hiero
When the puppies are born, we must leave them with the mother, and not put them to another dog; for the nurture of strange dogs does not sufficiently contribute to growth; but the milk and breath of their mothers is good for them, and their caresses pleasing.
XENOPHON
Cynegeticus
When the inhabitants of a free city have overcome the enemy in the field, it is not easy to express the pleasure which they feel in putting their opponents to flight, as well as in pursuing and making havoc of them.
XENOPHON
Hiero
It is only for those to employ force who possess strength without judgment; but the well advised will have recourse to other means.
