Menander: Quotes
- Death
Whom the gods love dies young.: Dis Exapaton
- Pain and Suffering
If you want to live your whole life free from pain
You must become either a god or else a corpse.
Consider other men's troubles; that will comfort yours. - Prayer
Being mortal, never pray for an untroubled life;
But ask the gods to give you an enduring heart. - Self-Knowledge and Self-Deception
This ‘Know Yourself' is a silly proverb in some ways;
To know the man next door is a much more useful rule.
