Death is softer by far than tyranny
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.
Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once
Doubt that the sun doth move, doubt truth to be a liar, but never doubt I love
I believe that much unseen is also here
Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet
He who boasts lowers himself
Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear.
