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.
Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid
Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much
Not to have a thing is less humiliating than to beg it
Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond
By means of knowledge we raise ourselves above everybody else
Silence is the best cure for the malady of anger
