298:Love distills desire upon the eyes, love brings bewitching grace into the heart. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

299:We know the good, we apprehend it clearly; but we can't bring it to achievement. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

300:Whoso neglects learning in his youth, loses the past and is dead for the future. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

301:A sweet thing, for whatever time, to revisit in dreams the dear dad we have lost. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

303:Oh, what a power is motherhood, possessing a potent spell. Love, Light, Blessings ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

304:Oh, what a vileness human beauty is; corroding, corrupting everything it touches. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

305:The brave endure their labors, the cowardly are worth the cowards nothing at all. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

306:I love the old way best, the simple way of poison, where we too are strong as men. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

307:I would prefer as friend a good man ignorant than one more clever who is evil too. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

308:The little done doth vanish to the mind which forward sees how much remains to do. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

309:The man who sticks it out against his fate shows spirit, but the spirit of a fool. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

310:There is no bitterness to be compared with that between two people who once loved. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

311:To die with glory, if one has to die at all, is still, I think, pain for the dier. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

312:Try first thyself, and after call in God; For to the worker God himself lends aid. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

313:A second wife is hateful to the children of the first; A viper is not more hateful. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

314:A wise man in his house should find a wife gentle and courteous, or no wife at all. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

315:It is wise to withhold one's heart and mind from men who think themselves superior. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

316:The man that isn't jolly after drinking is just a drivelling idiot, to my thinking. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

317:The same man cannot well be skilled in everything; each has his special excellence. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

318:Who knoweth if to die be but to live, and that called life by mortals be but death? ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

319:Worse than a true evil is it to bear the burden of faults that are not truly yours. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

320:Human misery must somewhere have a stop; there is no wind that always blows a storm. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

321:Silver and gold are not the only coin; virtue too passes current all over the world. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

322:Time will explain it all. He is a talker, and needs no questioning before he speaks. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

323:When someone isn't seen for a long time, Well, folk soon begin to imagine the worst. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

324:If all men saw the fair and wise the same men would not have debaters' double strife. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

325:Stronger than lover's love is lover's hate. Incurable, in each, the wounds they make. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

326:The fountains of sacred rivers flow upwards (i.e., everything is turned topsy turvy). ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

327:Delight in splendor is No more than happiness with little: for both Have their appeal. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

328:This is true liberty, when free-born men, having to advise the public, may speak free. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

329:If one must do a wrong, it's best to do it pursuing power-otherwise, let's have virtue. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

330:Give a wise man an honest brief to plead and his eloquence is no remarkable achievement. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

331:High honors are sweet To a man's heart, but ever They stand close to the brink of grief. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

332:Whoever yields properly to Fate, is deemed Wise among men, and knows the laws of heaven. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

333:Power gives no purchase to the hand, it will not hold, soon perishes, and greatness goes. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

334:When one with honeyed words but evil mind Persuades the mob, great woes befall the state. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

335:When a wise man chooses a sane basis for his arguments, it is no great task to speak well. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

336:Silence and chaste reserve is woman's genuine praise, and to remain quiet within the house. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

337:For with slight efforts how should we obtain great results? It is foolish even to desire it. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

338:Oftener than not the old are uncontrollable; Their tempers make them difficult to deal with. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

339:A rare spoil for a man Is the winning of a good wife; very Plentiful are the worthless women. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

340:God hates violence. He has ordained that all men fairly possess their property, not seize it. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

341:Mobs in their emotions are much like children, subject to the same tantrums and fits of fury. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

342:What greater pain could mortals have than this: To see their children dead before their eyes? ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

343:Some men never find prosperity, For all their voyaging, While others find it with no voyaging. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

344:Those who have not, and live in want, are a menace, Ridden with envy and fooled by demagogues. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

345:The daughters of Sparta are never at home! They mingle with the young men in wrestling matches. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

346:When the anger of the gods is incurred, wealth or power only bring more devastating punishment. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

347:The fiercest anger of all, the most incurable, Is that which rages in the place of dearest love. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

348:Wealth stays with us a little moment if at all: only our characters are steadfast, not our gold. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

349:The man who melts With social sympathy, though not allied, Is more worth than a thousand kinsmen. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

350:There is one thing alone that stands the brunt of life throughout its course; a quiet conscience. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

351:We must take care of our minds because we cannot benefit from beauty when our brains are missing. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

352:You will not achieve happiness if you don't work hard; and it's a shame not to want to work hard. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

353:In adverse hours the friendship of the good shines most; each prosperous day commands its friends. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

354:It is a strange form of anger, difficult to cure, when two friends turn upon each other in hatred. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

355:What good can come from meeting death with tears? If a man Is sorry for himself, he doubles death. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

356:There is no worse evil than a bad woman; and nothing has ever been produced better than a good one. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

357:Why do we make so much of knowledge, struggle so hard to get some little skill not worth the effort? ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

358:It is in adversity that the good show their friendship most clearly; prosperity always finds friends. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

359:This is what it means to be a slave; to be abused and bear it; compelled by violence to suffer wrong. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

360:Time will discover everything to posterity; it is a babbler, and speaks even when no question is put. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

361:The man is happiest who lives from day to day and asks no more, garnering the simple goodness of life. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

362:Few have greater riches than the joy That comes to us in visions, In dreams which nobody can take away. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

363:Enjoy yourself, drink, call the life you live today your own; but only that, the rest belongs to chance. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

364:Lucky is the man who has been successful with his children and not got ones who are notorious disasters. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

365:In the hands of vicious men, a mob will do anything. But under good leaders it's quite a different story. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

366:There is something in the pang of change more than the heart can bear, unhappiness remembering happiness. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

367:Greatness brings no profit to people. God indeed, when in anger, brings greater ruin to great mens houses. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

368:Had I succeeded well, I had been reckoned amongst the wise; our minds are so disposed to judge from the event. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

369:The care of God for us is a great thing, if a man believe it at heart: it plucks the burden of sorrow from him. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

370:The mob gets out of hand, runs wild, worse than raging fire, while the man who stands apart is called a coward. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

371:Fortune always will confer an aura of worth, unworthily; and in this world The lucky person passes for a genius. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

372:What can we take on trust in this uncertain life? Happiness, greatness, pride - nothing is secure, nothing keeps. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

373:To an old father, nothing is more sweet than a daughter. Boys are more spirited, but their ways are not so tender. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

374: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. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

375:A sharp-tempered woman, or, for that matter, a man, Is easier to deal with than the clever type Who holds her tongue. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

376:Only one in command: that's the way in the home And the way in the state when it must find Measures best for mankind. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

377:Since we are mortal, friendships are best kept to a moderate level, rather than sharing the very depths of our souls. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

378:Lucky that man whose children make his happiness in life and not his grief, the anguished disappointment of his hopes. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

379:For no mortal ever attains to blessedness. One may be luckier than another when wealth flows his way, but blessed never. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

380:The way of God is complex, he is hard for us to predict. He moves the pieces and they come somehow into a kind of order. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

381:Those who are held Wise among men and who search the reasons of things, are those who bring the most sorrow on themselves. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

382:A just cause needs no interpreting. It carries its own case. But the unjust argument since it is sick, needs clever medicine. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

383:Children are sweet as the buds in spring, But I've noticed that those who have them Have nothing but trouble all their lives. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

384:All men know their children Mean more than life. If childless people sneer- Well, they've less sorrow. But what lonesome luck! ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

385:Events will take their course, it is no good of being angry at them; he is happiest who wisely turns them to the best account. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

386:Love must not touch the marrow of the soul. Our affections must be breakable chains that we can cast them off or tighten them. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

387:Soon all of you immortals Will be as dead as we are! Come on then, what are you waiting for? Have you run out of thunderbolts? ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

388:I loathe a friend whose gratitude grows old, a friend who takes his friend's prosperity but will not voyage with him in his grief ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

389: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. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

390:I think that fortune watcheth o'er our lives, surer than we. But well said: he who strives will find his goals strive for him equally. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

391:Learned we may be with another man's learning: we can only be wise with wisdom of our own: [I hate a sage who is not wise for himself] ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

392:Vengeance comes not slowly either upon you or any other wicked man, but steals silently and imperceptibly, placing its foot on the bad. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

393:To a father waxing old, nothing is dearer than a daughter; sons have spirits of a higher pitch, but less inclined to endearing fondness. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

394:No one is truly free, they are a slave to wealth, fortune, the law, or other people restraining them from acting according to their will. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

395: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. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

396:Of mortals there is no one who is happy. If wealth flows in upon one, one may be perhaps luckier than one's neighbor, but still not happy. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

397:I know indeed what evil I intend to do, but stronger than all my afterthoughts is my fury, fury that brings upon mortals the greatest evils. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

398:Our ancestors... purged their guilt by banishment, not death. And by so doing, they stopped that endless vicious cycle of murder and revenge. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

399:Who then will dare to say I'm weak or timid? No, they'll say I'm loyal as a friend, ruthless as a foe, so much like a hero destined for glory. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

400:Humility, a sense of reverence before the sons of heaven - of all the prizes that a mortal man might win, these, I say, are wisest; these are best. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

401:When good men die their goodness does not perish, But lives though they are gone. As for the bad, All that was theirs dies and is buried with them. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

402:I think it makes small difference to the dead, if they are buried in the tokens of luxury. All that is an empty glorification left for those who live. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

403:One does nothing who tries to console a despondent person with word. A friend is one who aids with deeds at a critical time when deeds are called for. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

404:Do we, holding that the gods exist, deceive ourselves with insubstantial dreams and lies, while random careless chance and change alone control the world? ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

405:The gods have sent medicines for the venom of serpents, but there is no medicine for a bad woman. She is more noxious than the viper, or than fire itself. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

406:No man on earth is truly free, All are slaves of money or necessity. Public opinion or fear of prosecution forces each one, against his conscience, to conform. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

407:If your life at night is good, you think you have Everything; but, if in that quarter things go wrong, You will consider your best and truest interests Most hateful. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

408: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. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

409:Life is short; this being so, who would pursue great things and not bear with what is at hand? These are the ways of madmen and men of evil counsel, at least in my judgment. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

410:The brash unbridled tongue, the lawless folly of fools, will end in pain. But the life of wise content is blest with quietness, escapes the storm and keeps its house secure. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

411:The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise man. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

412:Oh, trebly blest the placid lot of those whose hearth foundations are in pure love laid, where husband's breast with tempered ardor glows, and wife, oft mother, is in heart a maid! ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

413:Let no one think of me that I am humble or weak or passive; let them understand I am of a different kind: dangerous to my enemies, loyal to my friends. To such a life glory belongs. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

414:I have found power in the mysteries of thought, exaltation in the changing of the Muses; I have been versed in the reasonings of men; but Fate is stronger than anything I have known. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

415:Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. Tragedy isn't getting something or failure to get it; it's losing something you already have. Waste not fresh tears over old griefs. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

416:If a man rejoice not in his drinking, he is mad; for in drinking it's possible ... to fondle breasts, and to caress well tended locks, and there is dancing withal, and oblivion of woe. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

417:Terrible is the force of the waves of sea, terrible is the rush of the river and the blasts of hot fire, and terrible are a thousand other things; but none is such a terrible evil as woman. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

418:It's folly that women measure their happiness with the pleasures of the bed, but they do. And when the pleasure cools or their man goes missing, all they once lived for turns dark and hateful. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

419: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. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

420:That mortal is a fool who, prospering, thinks his life has any strong foundation; since our fortune's course of action is the reeling way a madman takes, and no one person is ever happy all the time. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

421:I care for riches, to make gifts To friends, or lead a sick man back to health With ease and plenty. Else small aid is wealth For daily gladness; once a man be done With hunger, rich and poor are all as one. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

422:Our lives ... are but a little while, so let them run as sweetly as you can, and give no thought to grief from day to day. For time is not concerned to keep our hopes, but hurries on its business, and is gone. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

423: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. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

424: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. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

425:When roused to rage the maddening populace storms, their fury, like a rolling flame, bursts forth unquenchable; but give its violence ways, it spends itself, and as its force abates, learns to obey and yields it to your will. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

426:Happy the man whose lot it is to know The secrets of the earth. He hastens not To work his fellows hurt by unjust deeds, But with rapt admiration contemplates Immortal Nature's ageless harmony, And how and when the order came to be. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

427:To have found you is a dear happiness; and to be Apollo's son is beyond all my hopes; but there is something I want to say to you alone. Come; this is a private matter between us two - anything you tell me shall be as secret as the grave. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

428:Human misery must somewhere have a stop; there is no wind that always blows a storm; great good fortune comes to failure in the end. All is change; all yields its place and goes; to persevere, trusting in what hopes he has, is courage in a man. The coward despairs. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

429: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. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

430:Lady, the sun's light to our eyes is dear, And fair the tranquil reaches of the sea, And flowery earth in May, and bounding waters; And so right many fair things I might praise; Yet nothing is so radiant and so fair As for souls childless, with desire sore-smitten, To see the light of babes about the house. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

431: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. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

432:Knowledge is not wisdom: cleverness is not, not without awareness of our death, not without recalling just how brief our flare is. He who overreaches will, in his overreaching, lose what he possesses, betray what he has now. That which is beyond us, which is greater than the human, the unattainably great, is for the mad, or for those who listen to the mad, and then believe them. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

433:Doth some one say that there be gods above? There are not; no, there are not. Let no fool, Led by the old false fable, thus deceive you. Look at the facts themselves, yielding my words, No undue credence: for I say that kings kill, rob, break oaths, lay cities waste by fraud, And doing thus are happier than those, Who live calm pious lives day after day. All divinity is built-up from our good and evil luck. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

434:Mankind . . . possesses two supreme blessings. First of these is the goddess Demeter, or Earth whichever name you choose to call her by. It was she who gave to man his nourishment of grain. But after her there came the son of Semele, who matched her present by inventing liquid wine as his gift to man. For filled with that good gift, suffering mankind forgets its grief; from it comes sleep; with it oblivion of the troubles of the day. There is no other medicine for misery. ~ euripedes, @wisdomtrove

2:Gregor had thought the bats were like horses, but now he could see they were equals. Did they talk? “Greetings, Overlander,” said Euripedes in a soft purring voice. Yeah, they talked. ~ Suzanne Collins,
