Euripides (/jʊəˈrɪpɨdiːz/ or /jɔːˈrɪpɨdiːz/; Greek: Εὐριπίδης; Ancient Greek: [eu̯.riː.pí.dɛːs]) (c. 480 – 406 BC) was a tragedian of classical Athens.

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.

All that was theirs dies and is buried with them.
The gifts of a bad man bring no good with them.
Whoso neglects learning in his youth, loses the past and is dead for the future.

Slight not what’s near through aiming at what’s far.
The company of just and righteous men is better than wealth and a rich estate.
