None but the fools believe in oracles,
Forsaking their own judgment.

Additional quotes by Euripides

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

By Hecate, the goddess I worship more than all the others, the one I choose to help me in this work, who lives with me deep inside my home, these people won't bring pain into my heart and laugh about it.

Notes of joy blend with the tearful dirge
When Apollo's voice rings forth,
when with his golden plectrum
He rouses rich music from his lute.
I too will chant the praise
Of one who has entered the night of the world below

The wisest men follow their own direction And listen to no prophet guiding them. None but the fools believe in oracles, Forsaking their own judgment. - Euripides
