More quotes by Euripides
The childless escape much misery.
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
The man who sticks it out against his fate shows spirit, but the spirit of a fool.
Euripides
The gift of a bad man can bring no good.
Euripides
Fortune truly helps those who are of good judgment.
Euripides
Some men never find prosperity, For all their voyaging, While others find it with no voyaging.
Euripides

Euripides
May he die with no joy at his end, The man who won't be troubled To unlock the keys of his heart and make a friend.
Euripides
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
Do not grieve so much for a husband lost that it wastes away your life.
Euripides
Happy is it to place a daughter yet it pains a father's heart when he delivers to another's house a child, the object of his tender care.
Euripides
A man who has been in danger, When he comes out of it forgets his fears, And sometimes he forgets his promises.
Euripides
Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other.
Euripides
