Hate

More quotes by Sophocles

It is no weakness for the wisest man
To learn when he is wrong.

A prudent mind can see room for misgiving, lest he who prospers should one day suffer reverse.

When the mind hath once become a parent of evil, it teaches men to be evil thenceforth.

I well believe it, to unwilling ears;None love the messenger who brings bad news.

Evil seems good, soon or late, to him whose mind the god draws to mischief.
