“Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times.”

“Call no man happy till he is dead.”

“Who, except the gods, can live time through forever without any pain?”

“At home there tarries like a lurking snake, Biding its time, a wrath unreconciled, A wily watcher, passionate to slake, In blood, resentment for a murdered child.”

“CLYTEMNESTRAWhat ails thee, raising this ado for us?SLAVEI say the dead are come to slay the living.”

“It is easy when we are in prosperity to give advice to the afflicted.”

“In visions of the night, like dropping rain, Descend the many memories of pain”
