Aristophanes
Weak mortals, chained to the earth, creatures of clay as frail as the foliage of the woods, you unfortunate race, whose life is but darkness, as unreal as a shadow, the illusion of a dream.
Aristophanes
A man's homeland is wherever he prospers.
Aristophanes
There is no beast, no rush of fire, like woman so untamed. She calmly goes her way where even panthers would be shamed.

You vote yourselves salaries out of the public funds and care only for your own personal interests hence the state limps along.
Aristophanes
