Euripides Quotes

I say; [136] for a man who dies from among his household is regretted, but a woman is of little account.

Chance fights ever on the side of the prudent.

The mind of a queen
Is a thing to fear. A queen is used
To giving commands, not obeying them;
And her rage once roused is hard to appease.

No, child, you’re wrong. They’re not the same. Life means hope, death is nothing at all.

Necio es el mortal que, creyéndose siempre feliz, se abandona al placer: la fortuna, cual furiosa delirante, salta aquí y allá, y a ninguno concede perpetua dicha

DIONYSUS: You did not know me when you should have.

The good and wise lead quite lives

Speak wisdom to a fool and he'll think you have no sense at all

...I'd never want my muse
to be a singer of nothing but disaster.

Friends show their love in times of trouble.

"Nor must we forget that Euripides is a greater admirer of nature, a more complete delineator of her workings, than the two greater tragedians. He has more of illustrative philosophy, more of regard to the objects of the animated creation, the system of the universe, than his greater rivals exhibit. He is, as Vitruvius has justly styled him, a "stage-philosopher." Did we possess a larger acquaintance with the works of Parmenides, Empedocles, and other early cosmogonists, we should perhaps think less of his merits on this head: as it is, the possession of some such fragments of our poet makes us deeply regret the loss of the plays themselves."

And men in their millions float and flow
And seethe with a million hopes as leaven;
And they win their Will, or they miss their Will,
And the hopes are dead or are pined for still;
But whoe'er can know,
As the long days go,
That To Live is happy, hath found his Heaven!

everybody loves himself more than his neighbor.

Otkud vi u sektoru?
Što se zadržavate,
Apolone Febe, tu?
Zar opet omalovažavate

odjel sudbine grubo izmanipuliran?
Zar se sada, je li, okreće
vaša oružana sila
i u obranu predmetne žene
koja je sama odlučila
provesti značajne izmjene
u planu umiranja supruga?

الخسارة الوحيدة التي لا يستطيع البشر تعويضها مهما فعلوا هي النفس البشرية. فالثروة يمكن كسبها إذا خسرناها.
