Translation
"If you really think that stubbornness is a valuable thing without good sense, you are not thinking straight." -- "If you really think that you will not pay a penalty for doing harm to a man who is your relative, you are not thinking well." Sophocles [sc. writes this].
Greek original · Adler’s text
Εἴτοι νομίζεις κτῆμα τὴν αὐθαδίαν εἶναί τι τοῦ νοῦ χωρίς, οὐκ ὀρθῶς φρονεῖς. εἴτοι νομίζεις ἄνδρα συγγενῆ κακῶς δρῶν οὐχ ὑφέξειν τὴν δίκην, οὐκ εὖ φρονεῖς. Σοφοκλῆς.
