More quotes by Euripides
If there are none [gods], All our toil is without meaning.
Euripides

Euripides

Euripides

Euripides

Euripides
Fate finds for every man his share of misery.
Euripides

In this world second thoughts, it seems, are best.
Euripides
Terrible is the force of the waves of sea, terrible is the rush of the river and the blasts of hot fire, and terrible are a thousand other things but none is such a terrible evil as woman.
Euripides
Where there are two, one cannot be wretched, and one not.
Euripides
