Additional quotes by Sophocles

How dreadful it is when the right judge judges wrong!

I have nothing but contempt for the kind of governor who is afraid, for whatever reason, to follow the course that he knows is best for the State; and as for the man who sets private friendship above the public welfare — I have no use for him, either.

It is a good thing To escape from death, but it is not great pleasure To bring death to a friend.

It's not through words but actions that I want to set the luster on my life. - Sophocles
