Remember there is no success without hard work.
SOPHOCLESRemember there is no success without hard work.
SOPHOCLESStubbornness and stupidity are twins.
SOPHOCLESI am the child of Fortune, the giver of good, and I shall not be shamed. She is my mother; my sisters are the Seasons; my rising and my falling match with theirs. Born thus, I ask to be no other man than that I am.
SOPHOCLESIt is a base thing for a man among the people not to obey those in command. Never in a state can the laws be well administered when fear does not stand firm.
SOPHOCLESYou win the victory when you yield to friends.
SOPHOCLESAll men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil. The only crime is pride.
SOPHOCLESYou can kill a man but you cant kill a idea.
SOPHOCLESA man though wise, should never be ashamed of learning more, and must unbend his mind.
SOPHOCLESRather fail with honor than succeed by fraud.
SOPHOCLESEach say following another, either hastening or putting off our death–what pleasure does it bring? I count that man worthless whois cheered by empty hopes. No, a noble man must either live or die well.
SOPHOCLESFor whoever knows how to return a kindness he has received must be a friend above all price.
SOPHOCLESTime is the only test of honest men, one day is space enough to know a rogue.
SOPHOCLESBut the power of destiny is something awesome; neither wealth, nor Ares, nor a tower, nor dark-hulled ships might escape it.
SOPHOCLESDon’t you know that silence supports the accuser’s charge?
SOPHOCLESAnd if you think my acts are foolishness the foolishness may be in a fool’s eye.
SOPHOCLESIn season, all is good.
