Additional quotes by Sophocles

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.

Once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up,
And hope and history rhyme.

Numberless are the world's wonders, but none more wonderful than man
