"When love is in excess, it brings..." - Quote by Euripides

“Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.”

“Slight not what's near through aiming at what's far.”

“No one can confidently say that he will still be living tomorrow.”

“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won.”

“And is not time even as love is, undivided and paceless?”

“The promise, made when I am in love, to be true to the beloved as long as I live, commits me to being true even if I cease to be in love.”

“All surfeit is the father of much fast.”

“Some have lavish garments, carry sharp swords, and feast on food and drink. They possess more than they can spend. This is called the vanity of robbers. It is certainly not the Way.”

“No town can live peacefully whatever its laws when its citizens do nothing but feast and drink and tire themselves out in the cares of love”
