Note 61 — Chapter XV · THE FRAGMENTS OF ÆSCHYLUS, SOPHOCLES, AND EURIPIDES.
Reading edition
A young man should be always doing, daring; For no slack heart or hand was ever famous. 'Tis toil and danger that beget fair fame.
Archelaus, 233.
Who seeks to lead a life of unstirred pleasure Cannot win fame: fame is the meed of travail.
Ibid. 234.
A life of pleasure and unmanly sloth Could never raise a house or State to honor.
Ibid. 235.
Fair honor is the child of countless toils.
Ibid. 236.
Is it not right that I Should toil? Without toil who was ever famous? What slothful soul ever desired the highest?
Ibid. 238.
