More quotes by Euripides

Euripides
Do not mistake for wisdom that opinion which may rise from a sick mind.
Euripides

Euripides
O lady, nobility is thine, and thy form is the reflection of thy nature!
Euripides
Delight in splendor is No more than happiness with little: for both Have their appeal.
Euripides
None can hold fortune still and make it last.
Euripides
Arm yourself, my heart: the thing that you must do is fearful, yet inevitable.
Euripides
The man who knows when not to act is wise. To my mind bravery if forethought.
Euripides
