Poetry Quote by Euripides — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Anger exceeding limits causes fear and excessive kindness eliminates respect.”

“What mortal claims, by searching to the utmost limit, to have found out the nature of God, or of his opposite, or of that which comes between, seeing as he doth this world of man tossed to and fro by waves of contradiction and strange vicissitudes?”

“The wisest men follow their own direction.”

“Human misery must somewhere have a stop; there is no wind that always blows a storm; great good fortune comes to failure in the end. All is change; all yields its place and goes; to persevere, trusting in what hopes he has, is courage in a man. The coward despairs.”

“The wisest men follow their own direction.”

“The novel is a formidable mass, and it is so amorphous - no mountain in it to climb, no Parnassus or Helicon, not even a Pisgah. It is most distinctly one of the moister areas of literature - irrigated by a hundred rills and occasionally degenerating into a swamp. I do not wonder that the poets despise it, though they sometimes find themselves in it by accident. And I am not surprised at the annoyance of the historians when by accident it finds itself among them.”

“One clear moment, one of trance”

“Teach me to sing and recite,”

“plastic flowers beside the highway
middle of somewhere”

“At Blackwater Pond”

“I will try to disappoint you”
