A State for one man is no State at all.
SophoclesMad are thy subjects all, and even the wisest heart
Straight to folly will fall, at a touch of thy poisoned dart.
To yield is grievous, but the obstinate soul
That fights with Fate, is smitten grievously.
The blind man cannot move without a guide
SophoclesTo err is common
To all men, but the man who having erred
Hugs not his errors, but repents and seeks
The cure, is not a wastrel nor unwise.
True, as unwisdom is the worst of ills
SophoclesI know not, but strained silence, so I deem,
IS no less ominous than excessive grief.
Unnatural silence signifies no good.
SophoclesIt is but sorrow to be wise when wisdom profits not.
