Euripides

The man is happiest who lives from day to day and asks no more, garnering the simple goodness of life.

The fiercest anger of all, the most incurable,Is that which rages in the place of dearest love.

O Zeus, why is it you have given men clear ways of testing whether gold is counterfeit but, when it comes to men, the body carries no stamp of nature for distinguishing bad from good.

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

Do not grieve so much for a husband lost that it wastes away your life.

Come back. Even as a shadow, even as a dream.

The good and wise lead quite lives

Who knoweth if to die be but to live, and that called life by mortals be but death?

Leave no stone unturned.

Cleverness is not wisdom.

Anger exceeding limits causes fear and excessive kindness eliminates respect.

What mortal claims, by searching to the utmost limit, to have found out the nature of God, or of his opposite, or of that which comes between, seeing as he doth this world of man tossed to and fro by waves of contradiction and strange vicissitudes?

Arm yourself, my heart: the thing that you must do is fearful, yet inevitable.

or else I would have sung a songin response to what the male sex sings.For our lengthy past has much to sayabout men's lives as well as ours

Of all creatures that can feel and think,we women are the worst treated things alive

Again, where the people are absolute rulers of the land, they rejoice in having the openness and exuberance of youth, while a tyrant counts this a danger, and seeks to slay or silence those possessed of spirit, while the discreet fear his power and violence.

O what will she do, a soul bitten into with wrong?

Not yet do you feel it. Wait for the future.
