A soul that is kind and intends justice discovers more than any sophist

AGAMEMNÔN. Il n’est pas facile à un roi d’être pieux.ODYSSEUS. Mais les rois peuvent obéir aux amis qui les conseillent bien.

Your edict, King, was strong,But all your strength is weakness itself againstThe immortal unrecorded laws of God.They are not merely now: they were, and shall be,Operative for ever, beyond man utterly.I knew I must die, even without your decree:I am only mortal. And if I must dieNow, before it is my time to die,Surely this is no hardship: can anyoneLiving, as I live, with evil all about me,Think Death less than a friend?

Thou wouldst make a good monarch of a desert

Haemon: No city is property of a single man.Creon: But custom gives possession to the ruler.Haemon: You'd rule a desert beautifully alone.

In a just cause the weak will beat the strong!

There are times when even justice brings harm with it.

There is a point beyond which even justice becomes unjust.

Ugly deeds are taught by ugly deeds.
