Some quotes by Sophocles
How dreadful it is when the right judge judges wrong!
Wisdom outweighs any wealth.
Nobody likes the bringer of bad news.
Grief teaches the steadiest minds to waver.
Whoever thinks that he alone has speech, or possesses speech or mind above others, when unfolded such men are seen to be empty.
The keenest sorrow is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities.
To him who is in fear everything rustles.
Who seeks shall find.
He who throws away a friend is as bad as he who throws away his life.
What you cannot enforce, do not command.
Success is dependent on effort.
One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love.
There is no success without hardship.
Trust dies but mistrust blossoms.
Ignorant men don’t know what good they hold in their hands until they’ve flung it away.
There is nothing more hateful than bad advice.
Quick decisions are unsafe decisions.
A short saying oft contains much wisdom.
Silence is an ornament for women.
Look and you will find it – what is unsought will go undetected.
