More from Solon
True blessedness consisteth in a good life and a happy death.
SolonSolon No more good must be attempted than the nation can bear.
SolonSolon Watch well each separate citizen, Lest having in his heart of hearts A secret spear, one still may come Saluting you with cheerful face, And utter with a double tongue The feigned good wishes of his wary mind.
SolonSolon Men keep their agreements when it is an advantage to both parties not to break them; and I shall so frame my laws that it will be evident to the Athenians that it will be for their interest to observe them.
SolonSolon The ideal state is that in which an injury done to the least of its citizens is an injury done to all.
SolonSolon Society is well governed when its people obey the magistrates, and the magistrates obey the law.
SolonSolon In all things that you do, consider the end.
SolonSolon Consider your honour, as a gentleman, of more weight than an oath.
SolonSolon Often the wicked prosper, while the righteous starve; yet I would never exchange my state for theirs, my virtue for their gold. For mine endures, while riches change their owner every day.
SolonSolon Poets tell many lies.
SolonSolon He who has learned how to obey will know how to command.
SolonSolon In giving advice seek to help, not to please, your friend.
SolonSolon I grow old learning something new every day.
SolonSolon He that will sell his fame will also sell the public interest.
SolonSolon 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.
SolonSolon Rich people without wisdom and learning are but sheep with golden fleeces.

Al KooperAl Kooper Live every day as if it were Saturday night.
