"There is one thing alone that stands..." - Quote by Euripides

“The brash unbridled tongue, the lawless folly of fools, will end in pain. But the life of wise content is blest with quietness, escapes the storm and keeps its house secure.”

“I envy that man who passes through life safely, to the world and fame unknown.”

“Time will discover everything to posterity; it is a babbler, and speaks even when no question is put.”

“Policy sits above conscience.”

“Conscience is a blushing, shamefaced spirit than mutinies in a man's bosom; it fills one full of obstacles.”

“It is not worth the while to let our imperfections disturb us always. The conscience really does not, and ought not to monopolizethe whole of our lives, any more than the heart or the head. It is as liable to disease as any other part.”

“You cannot succeed in one department of life while cheating on another, life is an indivisible whole.”

“Therefore the superior man is watchful over himself, when he is alone.”

“A sentence should be read as if its author, had he held a plough instead of a pen, could have drawn a furrow deep and straight to the end.”
