Euripides
A bad beginning makes a bad ending.
A bad beginning makes a bad ending.
Every man is like the company he is wont to keep.
It is said that gifts persuade even the gods.
Sweet is the remembrance of troubles when you are in safety.
The variety of all things forms a pleasure.
Chance fights ever on the side of the prudent.
I sacrifice to no god save myself ? And to my belly, greatest of deities.
There is one thing alone that stands the brunt of life throughout its course: a quiet conscience.
This is slavery, not to speak one's thought.
Man's best possession is a sympathetic wife.
'Twas but my tongue, 'twas not my soul that swore.
When good men die their goodness does not perish, but lives though they are gone. As for the bad, all that was theirs dies and is buried with them.
