Image
Lady, the sun's light to our eyes is dear, And fair the tranquil reaches of the sea, And flowery earth in May, and bounding waters And so right many fair things I might praise Yet nothing is so radiant and so fair As for souls childless, with desire sore-smitten, To see the light of babes about the house.
Euripides
Image

Euripides
Image
Account no man happy till he dies.
Euripides
Image
He is life's liberating force. He is release of limbs and communion through dance. He is laughter, and music in flutes. He is repose from all cares -- he is sleep!

Euripides

Euripides
Image
A man who has been in danger, When he comes out of it forgets his fears, And sometimes he forgets his promises.
Euripides
Image
I love the old way best, the simple way of poison, where we too are strong as men.
Euripides
Image
There is safety in numbers.
Euripides
Image
The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise man.
Euripides
Image
Of all things upon earth that bleed and grow, a herb most bruised is woman.
Euripides

Who dares not speak his free thoughts is a slave.

There is no evil as terrible as a woman.

Disaster appears, to crush one man now, but afterward another.
Euripides
Image
None wise dares hopeless venture.
