Euripidés: Goodness

“When good men die their goodness does not perish,
But lives though they are gone.”

“The gifts of a bad man bring no good with them.”

“When a good man is hurt, all who would be called good must suffer with him.”

“The man is happiest who lives from day to day and asks no more, garnering the simple goodness of life.”

“A woman should be good for everything at home, but abroad good for nothing.”

“Only one thing, they say, competes in value with life, the possession of a heart blameless and good.”

“Good slaves [are affected by] the adversities of their masters”

“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.”
