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

More quotes by Euripides
Forgive, son men are men they needs must err.
Euripides
There is nothing more hostile to a city that a tyrant, under whom in the first and chiefest place, there are not laws in common, but one man, keeping the law himself to himself, has the sway, and this is no longer equal.
Euripides
A slave is he who cannot speak his thoughts.
Euripides
Since luck's a nine days' wonder, wait their end.
Euripides
For with slight efforts how should we obtain great results? It is foolish even to desire it.
Euripides
Your worst enemy Becomes your best friend, once he's underground.
Euripides
This is slavery, not to speak one's thought.
Euripides
Nothing is hopeless we must hope for everything.
Euripides
Time will explain it all. Waste no tears over the griefs of yesterday. One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives. Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other. Whoso neglects learning in his youth, loses the past and is dead for the future.
Euripides
When one with honeyed words but evil mind Persuades the mob, great woes befall the state.
Euripides
Those who have not, and live in want, are a menace, Ridden with envy and fooled by demagogues.
Euripides
Oh, what a power is motherhood, possessing a potent spell. Love, Light, Blessings
Euripides
But learn that to die is a debt we must all pay.
Euripides
It is said that gifts persuade even the gods.
Euripides
God hates violence. He has ordained that all men fairly possess their property, not seize it.
Euripides
In my opinion, the unjust man whose tongue is full of glozing rhetoric, merits the heaviest punishment vaunting that he can with his tongue gloze over injustice, he dares to act wickedly, yet he is not over-wise.
Euripides
There is as much confusion in the world of the gods as in ours.
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
Light be the earth upon you, lightly rest.
Euripides
To the fool, he who speaks wisdom will sound foolish.
Euripides
