The rewards of virtue alone abide secure.
Sophocles
Poet · Greek
Not even Ares battles against necessity.
A human being is only breath and shadow.
Fortune cannot aid those who do nothing.
Even a poor man can receive honors.
Success is dependent on effort.
No man loves the bearer of bad tidings.
A fearful man is always hearing things.
There is no greater evil than anarchy.
There is no success without hardship.
No one who errs unwillingly is evil.
God's dice always have a lucky roll.
Silence is an ornament for women.
Trust dies but mistrust blossoms.
Wise thinkers prevail everywhere.
Without labor nothing prospers.
No lie ever reaches old age.
Evil counsel travels fast.
When trouble ends even troubles please.
It is best to live however one can be.
Quick decisions are unsafe decisions.
The dice of Zeus always fall luckily.
For the dead there are no more toils.
Better not to exist than live basely.
Best to live lightly, unthinkingly.
No enemy is worse than bad advice.
Despair often breeds disease.
A lie never lives to be old.
Who seeks shall find.
