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 *** NEWFULLDB 2.4M ***

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, #NFDB
