Sophocles

A human being is only breath and shadow.

Numberless are the world's wonders, but none more wonderful than man.

Look and you shall find it; for what is unsought will go unseen.

"One word frees us of all the weight an pain of life: That word is love."

A wise player ought to accept his throws and score them, not bewail his luck.

The truth is always the strongest argument.

War loves to seek its victims in the young.

In a just cause the weak o'ercome the strong.

It is a painful thing to look at your own trouble and know that you yourself and no one else has made it.

. . . 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.
