Euripides

Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.

The wisest men follow their own direction.

Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.

Slight not what's near, while aiming at what's far.

I have found power in the mysteries of thought.

A bad beginning makes a bad ending.

Time will explain it all. He is a talker, and needs no questioning before he speaks.

Time cancels young pain.

You were a stranger to sorrow: therefore Fate has cursed you.

Leave no stone unturned.

My tongue swore, but my mind was still unpledged.

There is one thing alone
that stands the brunt of life throughout its course:
a quiet conscience.
