Additional quotes by Sophocles

Always desire to learn something useful.

To me so deep a silence portends some dread event; a clamorous sorrow wastes itself in sound.

Do not believe that you alone can be right.
The man who thinks that,
The man who maintains that only he has the power
To reason correctly, the gift to speak, the soul — A man like that, when you know him, turns out empty.

Do nothing secretly; for Time sees and hears all things, and discloses all. - Sophocles
