More quotes by Euripides
The wise with hope support the pains of life.
Euripides
My tongue swore, but my mind was still unpledged.
Euripides
Those who look for filth, can find it at the height of noon.
Euripides
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
What we look for does not come to pass God finds a way for what none foresaw.
Euripides
If I could remake the world, I'd banish women, send them away with all their trouble. Then children would come from a purer source.
Euripides
Nothing is hopeless we must hope for everything.
Euripides

Euripides
Life is short, yet sweet.
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
How base a thing it is when a man will struggle with necessity! We have to die.
Euripides
Disaster appears, to crush one man now, but afterward another.
Euripides
In the hands of vicious men, a mob will do anything. But under good leaders it's quite a different story.
Euripides
Youth holds no society with grief.
Euripides
Arm yourself, my heart: the thing that you must do is fearful, yet inevitable.
Euripides
