Sophocle’s Advice to Obama (& his advisors)

Whoever thinks that he alone is wise,
his eloquence, his mind, above the rest,
come the unfolding, shows his emptiness.
A man, though wise, should never be ashamed
of learning more, and must unbend his mind.
Antigone, trans. by Elizabeth Wyckoff.
Please, Mr. President, unbend your mind; your policies aren’t working.
