    • 2012, Plato, translated by Donald Broadribb, La Respubliko (Traduko al Esperanto) [The Republic (Translation into Esperanto)], 2nd corrected edition (paperback), New York: Mondial, →ISBN, page 19:
      Efektive, paco kaj liberiĝo el tiaj aferoj venas dum maljuneco. Kiam la deziroj ĉesas urĝi kaj malstreĉiĝas, estas ĝuste kiel diris Sofoklo: Oni liberiĝas disde multaj frenezaj tiranoj.
      Effectively, peace and freedom come from those things during old age. When the desires cease urging and become relaxed, it is exactly like Sophocles said: One is freed from many crazy tyrants.
