For naught is there more sweet unto an aged sire than a daughter's love.

The Suppliants (-420)

Naught is more hostile to a city than a despot; where he is, there are in the first place no laws common to all, but one man is tyrant, in whose keeping and in his alone the law resides, and in that case equality is at an end.

The Suppliants (-420)

This is true Liberty when free born men
Having to advise the public may speak free.
Which he who can, and will, deservs high praise.
Who neither can nor will, may hold his peace,
What can be juster in a State than this?

The Suppliants (-420)
