There is no justice in the world's censorious eyes. They will not wait to learn a man's true character;
Though no wrong has been done them, one look - and they hate.

Additional quotes by Euripides

حتى الكوارث العنيفة التي تصيب البشر يصيبها الإعياء بعد حين، وهبات الرياح العاصفة لا تحتفظ بقوة اندفاعها على الدوام، من المحال أن يدوم حال المحظوظين إلى الأبد، فكافة الأمور تتغير وتتبادل المواقف مع بعضها البعض، إن أفضل الرجال يثق باستمرار في الآمال، أما اليأس فشيمة الضعفاء.

Truth is simple by nature in the telling, and justice needs no cunning gloss of sophistries. It has a right measure of its own; but the argument that is unjust is sick in nature, and so needs the medicine of clever words.
