“[On the Inferior Argument]

"λέγω δὲ πρῶτον μὲν ὡς οὐκ ἔστιν Δίκη,
εἶτα τὸν ἥττω λόγον κρείττω ποιῶ."

"First I say that Justice does not exist,
and then I make the weaker argument stronger."

[On the Superior Argument]

"ἡμᾶς δ᾽ ἐπαίδευσεν ἡ παλαιὰ μουσική,
σωφρονεῖν καὶ καρτερεῖν καὶ σιγᾶν."

"The old education trained us
to be self-controlled, to endure hardship, and to keep silent.”
― Aristophanes, Clouds

“ὡς ἀγωνίζῃ λόγοις καὶ φροντίδων φροντίσιν,
καὶ τῶν ἐμῶν σοφισμάτων ἐραστὴς γεγένησαι,
καὶ τὸ φρονεῖν τιμᾷς μᾶλλον ἢ τὸ χρήματα."

"As you struggle in contests of words and in the thoughts of the mind,
and have become a lover of my clever arguments,
and you honor thinking more than money.”
― Aristophanes, Clouds
