Euripides

The man who is not a slave to his passions is a king.

There is no greater sorrow on earth than the loss of one's native land.

The gods are slow to punish, but they punish surely.

The greatest pleasure in life is love.

The man who is not a slave to his belly is a god.

The wise man is he who knows that he knows nothing.

Call no man happy till he is dead.

The best way to avenge yourself is to be unlike him who did the injury.

The man who has a good wife has a good life.

Time cancels young pain.

Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.

I would win my way to glory through suffering.

When love is in excess, it brings a man no honor nor worthiness.

Leave no stone unturned.

The company of just and righteous men is better than wealth and a rich estate.

A coward turns away, but a brave man's choice is danger.

In this world second thoughts, it seems, are best.

Silver and gold are not the only coin; virtue too passes current all over the world.

The bold are helpless without cleverness.

What is wisdom? To distinguish the best.
