Aristophanes

Wise people, even though all laws were abolished, would still lead the same life.

There is no beast, no rush of fire, like woman so untamed. She calmly goes her way where even panthers would be shamed.

The old are in a second childhood.

Evil events from evil causes spring.

You cannot teach a crab to walk straight.

High thoughts must have high language

If you strike upon a thought that baffles you, break off from that entanglement and try another, so shall your wits be fresh to start again.

Open your mind before your mouth.

These impossible women! How they do get around us! The poet was right: Can't live with them, or without them.

A man's homeland is wherever he prospers.

Characteristics of a popular politician: a horrible voice, bad breeding, and a vulgar manner.

Open your mouth and shut your eyes and see what Zeus will send you.

Men of sense often learn from their enemies. It is from their foes, not their friends, that cities learn the lesson of building high walls and ships of war.

One bush they say can never hide two thieves

Hunger knows no friend but its feeder.

A man may learn wisdom even from a foe.

The wise learn many things from their enemies.

Let each man exercise the art he knows.

Under every stone lurks a politician.

High thoughts must have high language.

Shrines! Shrines! Surely you don't believe in the gods. What's your argument? Where's your proof?

Why, I'd like nothing better than to achieve some bold adventure, worthy of our trip.

An insult directed at the wicked is not to be censured; on the contrary, the honest man, if he has sense, can only applaud.

Your lost friends are not dead but gone before Advanced a stage or two upon that road Which you must travel in the steps they trod.

Love is simply the name for the desire and the pursuit of the whole.

Your lost friends are not dead, but gone before, advanced a stage or two upon that road which you must travel in the steps they trod.

You should not decide until you have heard what both have to say.
