We've been using Luschnig Introduction to Ancient Greek, a literary approach for university and it has quotes like these on some of the pages, its pretty fun to read them as we work through the book! These are some of my faves.
κύριε, ἀγαθὸν νοῦν χάρισαί μοι, ἵνα μαθῶ τὰ γράμματα καὶ νικῶ τοὺς ἑταίρους μου.
Lord, grant me a good mind so that I will learn my letters and outshine my peers.
—Eustratius
Γραμματική ἐστιν ἐμπειρία τῶν παρὰ ποιηταῖς τε καὶ συγγραφεῦσιν ὡς ἐπὶ τὸ πολὺ λεγομένων.
Grammar is a practical knowledge of the usage of poets and writers of prose.
—Dionysius Thrax
Ἄνθρωπος φύσει πολιτικὸν ζῷον.
A human being [is] by nature [a] political/ social animal.
—Aristotle, Politics
