More quotes by Aristophanes
Today things are better than yesterday.
Aristophanes

Aristophanes
There is no honest man! not one, that can resist the attraction of gold!
Aristophanes
There is no beast, no rush of fire, like woman so untamed. She calmly goes her way where even panthers would be shamed.
Aristophanes
An insult directed at the wicked is not to be censured on the contrary, the honest man, if he has sense, can only applaud.
Aristophanes
This is what extremely grieves us, that a man who never fought Should contrive our fees to pilfer, on who for his native land Never to this day had oar, or lance, or blister in his hand.
Aristophanes
You cannot teach a crab to walk straight.
Aristophanes
