Euripides
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

Euripides
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! When his blood bursts from the grape and flows across tables laid in his honor to fuse with our blood, he gently, gradually, wraps us in shadows of ivy-cool sleep.
Euripides

Euripides
What we look for does not come to pass God finds a way for what none foresaw.
Euripides

Euripides
My tongue swore, but my mind was still unpledged.
Euripides
Human misery must somewhere have a stop there is no wind that always blows a storm great good fortune comes to failure in the end. All is change all yields its place and goes to persevere, trusting in what hopes he has, is courage in a man. The coward despairs.
Euripides
