More quotes by Sophocles

Sophocles

Sophocles

Sophocles
When ice appears out of doors, and boys seize it up while it is solid, at first they experience new pleasures. But in the end their pride will not agree to let it go, but their acquisition is not good for them if it stays in their hands. In the same way an identical desire drives lovers to act and not to act.
Sophocles

Sophocles
In a just cause the weak will beat the strong.
Sophocles
Who feels no ills, should, therefore, fear them and when fortune smiles, be doubly cautious, lest destruction come remorseless on him, and he fall unpitied.

There is no happiness where there is no wisdom.
Sophocles
I write a woman's oaths in water.
Sophocles
