Aristophanes

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

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

Evil events from evil causes spring.

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

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

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

High thoughts must have high language.

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

Quickly, bring me a beaker of wine, so that I may wet my mind and say something clever.

The wise learn many things from their enemies.

Hunger knows no friend but its feeder.

A man's homeland is wherever he prospers.

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

A man may learn wisdom even from a foe.

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.

Under every stone lurks a politician.

Let each man exercise the art he knows.
