Though one be poor his fame may yet stand high.
γένοιτο κἂν ἄπλουτος ἐν τιμαῖς ἀνήρ.

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.
