Solon

Justice, even if slow, is sure.

Let no man be called happy before his death. Till then, he is not happy, only lucky.

No man is happy; he is at best fortunate.

Call no man happy until he is dead, but only lucky.

No one can be said to be happy until he is dead.

Rich people without wisdom and learning are but sheep with golden fleeces.

If through your vices you afflicted are, Lay not the blame of your distress on God; You made your rulers mighty, gave them guards, So now you groan 'neath slavery's heavy rod.

If all men were to bring their miseries together in one place, most would be glad to take each his own home again rather than take a portion out of the common stock.

No more good must be attempted than the nation can bear

A half truth is the worst of all lies,because it can be defended in partiality.

Rule, after you have first learned to submit to rule.

Reprove your friend privately, commend him publicly.
