Ibid. 236.
Is it not right that I
Should toil? Without toil who was ever famous?
What slothful soul ever desired the highest?
Ibid. 238.
'Tis judgment that administers the State,
The household, and in war of force is found;
For one wise word in season hath more strength
Than many hands. Crowds and no brains breed ruin.
Antiope, 205.
There are three virtues to observe, my son:
Honor the gods, the parents that begot you,
The laws that govern Hellas. Follow these,
And you will win the fairest crown of honor.
Ibid. 221.
