Additional quotes by Sophocles

A man's anger can never age and fade away, not until he dies. The dead alone feel no pain.

For if any man thinks that he is alone is wise — that in speech, or in mind, he hath no peer — such a soul, when laid open, is ever found empty.

All concerns of men go wrong when they wish to cure evil with evil.

Even in these straits our life is not as pitiful as you'd think, so long as we find joy in every hour. - Sophocles
