“A lie never grows old.”

“And if you find I've lied, from this day on call the prophet blind.”

“Truly, to tell lies is not honorable;but when the truth entails tremendous ruin,to speak dishonorably is pardonable.”

“Men of ill judgment oft ignore the good that lies within their hands, till they have lost it.”

“That will come when it comes; we must deal with all that lies before us. The future rests with the ones who tend the future.”

“They are dying, the old oracles sent to Laius, now our masters strike them off the rolls. Nowhere Apollo's golden glory now -- the gods, the gods go down.”

“Wisdom is the supreme part of happiness; and reverence towards the Gods must be inviolate. Great words of prideful men are ever punished with great blows, and, in old age, teach the chastened to be wise.”
