Dyskolos - Gorgias - "Grouch" — English translation by Vincent J. Rosivach.
Dyskolos - Knemon - "Grouch" — English translation by Vincent J. Rosivach. Variant translation: I don't hold with people saying more than they need; but there is one thing more, my child, that I'd like you to know. I just want to say a few things to you about life, and the way people behave. You know, if we were all kind to one another, there'd me no need for law courts, there'd be no arresting people and putting them into prison, and there would be no more war. Everyone would have his little bit, and be content. But maybe you like modern ways better? Well, live that way, then! This difficult and bad-tempered old man will soon be out of the way. Translated by William Geoffrey Arnott.
Rest assured, for every piece of business the most businesslike thing is to choose the right moment.
