A wretched child Is he who does not return his parents' care.
Euripides

Euripides
Image
Old men's prayers for death are lying prayers, in which they abuse old age and long extent of life. But when death draws near, not one is willing to die, and age no longer is a burden to them.
Euripides
Image
Alas, how right the ancient saying is: We, who are old, are nothing else but noise And shape. Like mimicries of dreams we go, And have no wits, although we think us wise.
Euripides
Image
What can we take on trust in this uncertain life? Happiness, greatness, pride - nothing is secure, nothing keeps.
Euripides
Image
Mobs in their emotions are much like children, subject to the same tantrums and fits of fury.
Euripides
