If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher. ~ Socrates

Be slow to fall into friendship; but when thou art in, continue firm and constant. ~ Socrates
Once made equal to man, woman becomes his superior. ~ Socrates
No man loves life like him that's growing old. ~ Sophocles
The greatest griefs are those we cause ourselves. ~ Sophocles
No enemy is worse than bad advice. ~ Sophocles
Look and you will find it - what is unsought will go undetected. ~ Sophocles
Time alone reveals the just man; but you might discern a bad man in a single day. ~ Sophocles
