“A man, though wise, should never be ashamed of learning more, and must unbend his mind.”

“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.”

“One learns by doing a thing; for though you think you know it, you have no certainty until you try.”

“Alas, how terrible is wisdomwhen it brings no profit to the man that's wise!This I knew well, but had forgotten it,else I would not have come here.”

“Tomorrow is tomorrow.Future cares have future cures,And we must mind today.”

“TEIRESIAS: Alas, how terrible is wisdom whenit brings no profit to the man that's wise!This I knew well, but had forgotten it,else I would not have come here.”

“In time you will know this well: For time, and time alone, will show the just man, though scoundrels are discovered in a day. ”
