We are women, unable to perform noble deeds, but most skilful architects of every sort of harm. - Euripides

There is nothing worse than a bad woman, and nothing better in any way than a good one.

إن الذي يتمنى أن يتمتع بالثروة أو القوة ويفضلها على أصدقاء الخير، قد جانبه الصواب.

The sweetest teaching did he introduce,
Concealing truth under untrue speech.
The place he spoke of as the gods' abode
Was that by which he might awe humans most, — The place from which, he knew, terrors came to mortals And things advantageous in their wearisome life — The revolving heaven above, in which dwell
The lightnings, and awesome claps
Of thunder, and the starry face of heaven,
Beautiful and intricate by that wise craftsman Time, — From which, too, the meteor's glowing mass speeds
And wet thunderstorm pours forth upon the earth.
