Sophocles quotes - page 10

... all men make mistakes. But a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil. The only crime is pride. (Sophocles)

Though a man be wise it is no shame for him to live and learn.

Sophocles

If we are to keep our democracy, there must be one commandment: "Thou shalt not ration justice."

Sophocles

The man the state has put in place must have obedient hearing to his least command when it is right, and even when it's not.

Sophocles

If ills you do, ills also you must bear.
