From a small seed a mighty trunk may grow.
From Aeschylus
He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.
Everyone's quick to blame the alien.
There is no sickness worse for me than words that to be kind must lie.
Be bold and boast, just like the cock beside the hen.
For know that no one is free, except Zeus.
For the impious act begets more after it, like to the parent stock.
I, schooled in misery, know many purifying rites, and I know where speech is proper and where silence.
God always strives together with those who strive.
Of all the gods only death does not desire gifts.
