I. Frost's Selected Quotations
Everything at Amazon by and about: EuripidesCircumstances rule men and not men rule circumstances.There is no benefit in the gifts of a bad man. What greater grief than the loss of one's native land. Slight not what's near through aiming at what's far. The day is for honest men, the night for thieves. Authority is never without hate I know indeed what evil I intend to do, but stronger than all my afterthoughts is my fury, fury that brings upon mortals the greatest evils. 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. Every man is like the company he is wont to keep. The gods visit the sins of the fathers upon the children. Chance fights ever on the side of the prudent Who so neglects learning in his youth, Loses the past and is dead for the future. Slow but sure moves the might of the gods. I hate it in friends when they come too late to help. Money is the wise man's religion When love is in excess it brings a man nor honor nor any worthiness. Do not plan for ventures before finishing what's at hand The wisest men follow their own direction. Waste not fresh tears over old grieves. Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad. Forgive, son; men are men; they needs must err The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise man. Often a noble face hides filthy ways Your very silence shows you agree. Slight not what's near, while aiming at what's far. It's not beauty but fine qualities, my girl, that keep a husband Do not consider painful what is good for you. Short is the joy that guilty pleasure brings. Often a noble face hides filthy ways Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish. This is slavery, not to speak one's thought A second wife is hateful to the children of the first; a viper is not more hateful. A sweet thing, for whatever time, to revisit in dreams the dear dad we have lost. 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 Dishonor will not trouble me, once I am dead. Woman is woman's natural ally I have found power in the mysteries of thought, exaltation in the changing of the Muses; I have been versed in the reasoning of men; but Fate is stronger than anything I have known. Wealth stays with us a little moment if at all: only our characters are steadfast, not our gold Light be the earth upon you, lightly rest. Never say that marriage has more of joy than pain. Second thoughts are ever wiser You were a stranger to sorrow: therefore Fate has cursed you. Youth is the best time to be rich, and the best time to be poor Man's best possession is a sympathetic wife. Time will explain it all. He is a talker, and needs no questioning before he speaks. In case of dissension, never dare to judge till you've heard the other side. Experience, travel - these are as education in themselves Time cancels young pain. I care for riches, to make gifts To friends, or lead a sick man back to health With ease and plenty. Else small aid is wealth For daily gladness; once a man be done With hunger, rich and poor are all as one. There is one thing alone that stands the brunt of life throughout its course: a quiet onscience. Judge a tree from its fruit, not from its leaves A coward turns away, but a brave man's choice is danger. Leave no stone unturned. My tongue swore, but my mind was still unpledged. 4
