Greek tragedian. He is often described as the father of tragedy. Academics' knowledge of the genre begins with his work, and understanding of earlier tragedies is largely based on inferences from his surviving plays.
I gave them hope, and so turned away their eyes from death
From a small seed a mighty trunk may grow.
Death is softer by far than tyranny
Call no man happy till he is dead
In every enterprise is no greater evil than bad companionship.
There is no sickness worse for me that words that to be kind must lie.
Never confuse movement with action
With life as short as half taken breath, don't plant anything but love
The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made
Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them
Life is and will ever remain an equation incapable of solution, but it contains certain known factors
Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment
