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.
Your souls are precious, and can only be equal to the price of paradise. Therefore, sell them only at that price.
A dream is a wish your heart makes, when you're fast asleep
To live without commotion provides consolation for an unsuccessful life.
But inner experience is only one source of human knowledge
Extravagance is also when a person eats whatever he wishes
Kind words don't cost much. Yet they accomplish much
