Small men, by toil o'ercome, desire to die.

φαῦλοι βροτῶν γὰρ τοῦ πονεῖν ἡσσώμενοι
θανεῖν ἐρῶσιν.

More quotes by Agathon

This only is denied even to God,
The power to make what has been done undone.

Toil-loving natures their own paths pursue.

One might perhaps say that this very thing is probable,
that many things happen to men that are not probable.

Art loves chance, and chance loves art.
