Do not mistake the rule of force for true power. Men are not shaped by force.

Euripides (480 c. BCE-406 c. BCE), Euripides was a tragedian of classical Athens. Along with Aeschylus and Sophocles, he is one of the three ancient Greek tragedians for whom any plays have survived in full. Some ancient scholars attributed ninety-five plays to him, but the Suda says it was ninety-two at most.
