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.
To reach and pass by the goal is the same as not reaching it.
Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist
He who boasts lowers himself
Rise above sectional interests and private ambitions... Pass from matter to spirit. Matter is diversity; spirit is light, life and unity
Do not trust the character of one who cannot control his temper
One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane
