Sophocles

Sister - if all this is true, what could I do or undo?

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

Money! Money's the curse of man, none greater.That's what wrecks cities, banishes men from homes,Tempts and deludes the most well-meaning soul,Pointing out the way to infamy and shame." - Creon

And also because - Oh, my darling, my darling, forgive me; I__ going to cause you quite a lot of pain.

If you try to cure evil with evilyou will add more pain to your fate.

A lie never grows old.

But if I am young, thou shouldest look to my merits, not to my years.

There's nothing in the world so demoralizing as money.

The soul that has conceived one wickedness can nurse no good thereafter.

One must wait until the evening to see how splendid the day has been.

All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil. The only crime is pride.

A city which belongs to just one man is no true city

To throw away an honest friend is, as it were, to throw your life away

Fear? What has a man to do with fear? Chance rules our lives, and the future is all unknown. Best live as we may, from day to day.

A man, though wise, should never be ashamed of learning more, and must unbend his mind.

Hide nothing, for time, which sees all and hears all, exposes all.

Whoever neglects the arts when he is young has lost the past and is dead to the future.

Whoever thinks that he alone has speech, or possesses speech or mind above others, when unfolded such men are seen to be empty.
