Death will be my wedding, children and glory. - Euripides

Any man of good sense should never have his children taught to be unusually clever.

المحارب المسلح تسليحاً ثقيلاً يرزح تحت نير أسلحته، ويموت بسبب جبن رفاقه، إذا لم يكونوا من الشجعان.

Whom taking [27] make thou the expedition, but I think thou wilt know [that it is] through the folly of their hearts, for the divinity is not ignorant, but is capable of discerning oaths ill plighted and perforce. But I will not slay my children, so that thy state will in justice be well, revenge upon the worst of wives, but nights and days will waste me away in tears, having wrought lawless, unjust deeds against the children whom I begat. These words are briefly spoken to thee, both plain and easy, but if thou art unwilling to be wise, I will arrange my own affairs well.
