23 September: Euripides

EuripidesGreek playwright, born this date in 480 BC. 10 words of wisdom:

  1. Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.
  2. Question everything. Learn something. Answer nothing.
  3. Silence is true wisdom's best reply.
  4. Today's today. Tomorrow we may be ourselves gone down the drain of Eternity.
  5. There is the sky, which is all men's together.
  6. Cleverness is not wisdom.
  7. Do not consider painful what is good for you.
  8. Chance fights ever on the side of the prudent.
  9. Do not plan for ventures before finishing what's at hand.
  10. Events will take their course, it is no good of being angry at them; he is happiest who wisely turns them to the best account.
