Solon

I grow old learning something new every day.

Call no man happy until he is dead, but only lucky.

Learn to obey before you command.

No one can be said to be happy until he is dead.

Let no man be called happy before his death. Till then, he is not happy, only lucky.

Speech is the mirror of action.

Put more trust in nobility of character than in an oath.

Society is well governed when its people obey the magistrates, and the magistrates obey the law.

Rich people without wisdom and learning are but sheep with golden fleeces.

Call no man happy before he dies, he is at best but fortunate.

No man is happy; he is at best fortunate.
