Sophocles

One learns by doing the thing, for though you think you know it, you have no certainty until you try.

Niebo nigdy nie pomaga człowiekowi, który nie będzie działał.

Heaven never helps the man who will not act.

The gods plant reason in mankind, of all good gifts the highest.

A short saying contains much wisdom.

If you are out of trouble, watch for danger.

Men of ill judgement oft ignore the good That lies within their hands, till they have lost it.

To him who is in fear everything rustles.

Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness.

There is no sense in crying over spilt milk.

A short saying often contains much wisdom.

Time alone can prove a just man just, though you can know a bad man in a day.

For money you would sell your soul. - from Antigone

How dreadful knowledge of truth can be When there's no help in truth!
