"In misfortune, which friend remains a friend?..." - Quote by Euripides

“I think it makes small difference to the dead, if they are buried in the tokens of luxury. All that is an empty glorification left for those who live.”

“Many a maiden,With white feet glancing light as air,Made happy music through the gloom.”

“We look for good on earth and cannot recognize it when met.”

“Only be admonished by what you already see, not to strike leagues of friendship with cheap persons, where no friendship can be. Our impatience betrays us into rash and foolish alliances which no God attends.”

“There are times when we have had enough even of our Friends.”

“No one is a friend to his friend who does not love in return.”

“The consciousness of good intention is the greatest solace of misfortunes.”

“When I was happy I thought I knew men, but it was fated that I should know them in misfortune only.”

“For the credit of virtue we must admit that the greatest misfortunes of men are those into which they fall through their crimes.”
