Solon

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

In giving advice seek to help, not to please, your friend.

Speech is the mirror of action.

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

No man is happy; he is at best fortunate.

I grow old learning something new every day.

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

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

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

Learn to obey before you command.

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