The quotations of
Classical Athenian playwright
481–407 BC
26 quotes, most often on Wisdom, Luck and God. Part of the Writers and Poets collections.
Old men’s prayers for death are lying prayers, in which they abuse old age and long extent of life. But when death draws near, not one is willing to die, and age no longer is a burden to them.
I looked upon man’s days, and found a grey Shadow. And this thing more I surely say, That those of all men who are counted wise, Strong wits, devisers of great policies, Do pay the bitterest toll. Since life began, Hath there in God’s eye stood one happy man? Fair days roll on, and bear more gifts or less Of fortune, but to no man happiness.
