Those who have not, and live in want, are a menace, Ridden with envy and fooled by demagogues.
EuripidesWhen good men die their goodness does not perish, But lives though they are gone. As for the bad, All that was theirs dies and is buried with them.
EuripidesDoth some one say that there be gods above? There are not; no, there are not. Let no fool, Led by the old false fable, thus deceive you. Look at the facts themselves, yielding my words, No undue credence: for I say that kings kill, rob, break oaths, lay cities waste by fraud, And doing thus are happier than those, Who live calm pious lives day after day. All divinity is built-up from our good and evil luck.
Euripides
