Aristophanes

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.

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

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

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

A man may learn wisdom even from a foe.

Let each man exercise the art he knows.
