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.
The display of fame most often supresses the voice of conscience.
Let us endeavor so to live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry
The sun of those who were before us (before Islam) have set. Our sun will remain forever in the highest places of the sky, and it will never set.
Never whisper in company
Resist much, obey little
Quiet people have the loudest minds
