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.
You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony
Fear Allah and you will have no cause to fear anyone else.
A wise man always has something to say, whereas a fool always needs to say something.
Power comes not from knowledge kept but from knowledge shared
Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it
