ATHENA: There are two sides to this dispute. I've heard only one half the argument. (...) So you two parties, summon your witnesses, set out your proofs, with sworn evidence to back your stories. Once I've picked the finest men in Athens, I'll return. They'll rule fairly in this case, bound by a sworn oath to act with justice.

The reward of pain is experience.

Unions in wedlock are perverted by the victory of shameless passion that masters the female among men and beasts.

To mourn and bewail your ill-fortune, when you will gain a tear from those who listen, this is worth the trouble.

If a man suffers ill, let it be without shame; for this is the only profit when we are dead. You will never say a good word about deeds that are evil and disgraceful.

Justice turns the scale, bringing to some learning through suffering.

Beyond age, leaf withered, man goes three footed no stronger than a child is, a dream that falters in daylight.
