Sophocles

The truth is what I cherish and that's my strength

No honest man will argue on every side

There is some pleasure even in words, when they bring forgetfulness of present miseries.

All is disgust when a man leaves his own nature and does what is unfit.

Hush! Check those words. Do not cure ill with ill and make your pain still heavier than it is.

When trouble ends even troubles please.

Whoever lives among many evils just as I, how can dying not be a source of gain?

Evil gains work their punishment.

Man is not constituted to take pleasure in the same things always.

One word _x000D_ _x000D_ Frees us of all the weight and pain of life:_x000D_ _x000D_ That word is love.

No one longs to live more than someone growing old.

No man loves the bearer of bad tidings.

Deem no man happy until he passes the end of his life without suffering grief.

Every man can see things far off but is blind to what is near.

Even a poor man can receive honors.

Children are the anchors that hold a mother to life.

To him who is in fear everything rustles.

It is better not to live at all than to live disgraced.

Whoever thinks his friend more important than his country, I rate him nowhere.

How terrible is wisdom, when it brings no profit to the man that's wise

Opportunity is the best captain of all endeavor.
