Sophocles Quotes

Not To Be Born At All
Is Best, Far Best That Can Befall,
Next Best, When Born, With Least Delay
To Trace The Backward Way.
For When Youth Passes With Its Giddy Train,
Troubles On Troubles Follow, Toils On Toils,
Pain, Pain Forever Pain;
And None Escapes Life's Coils.
Envy, Sedition, Strife,
Carnage And War, Make Up The Tale Of Life.
