| τά γε ἀμφὶ γαστέρα, ἔφη, πάνυ καλῶς, ὦ Σώκρατες, ἦλθε πεπαιδευμένη· ὅπερ μέγιστον ἔμοιγε δοκεῖ παίδευμα εἶναι καὶ ἀνδρὶ καὶ γυναικί. |
| When it came to her stomach, Socrates, she was very well brought up when she came. And this I consider the most important kind of education, both for men and women. |
| Xenophon Economics 7.6 (73) |
| ὧν ἐγὼ μάλιστα μὲν τὴν σὴν ἐρινὺν αἰτίαν εἶναι λέγω. |
| I hold your Fury mostly to blame for this. |
| Sophocles Oedipus Coloneus 1291-1307 (203) |

| You must not only acknowledge this and fight him off, you must also comdemn with reason and thought those who support him. You must realise that it is not possible to overcome the enemies of the city before you have punished the men who serve him in the city itself. This you will never be able to do, by Zeus and the other gods, but are so stupid and paranoid or… I can't say. |
| Demosthenes 9.53 (311) |
