Unjust Cause: This art is worth more than ten thousand staters, that one should choose the worse cause, and nevertheless be victorious (Aristophanes Quotes)
Unjust Discourse: To invoke solely the weaker arguments and yet triumph is a talent worth more than a hundred thousand drachmae (Aristophanes Quotes)

If you strike upon a thought that baffles you, break off from that entanglement and try another, so shall your wits be fresh to start again (Aristophanes Quotes)
Comedy too can sometimes discern what is right. I shall not please, but I shall say what is true (Aristophanes Quotes)
You vote yourselves salaries out of the public funds and care only for your own personal interests; hence the state limps along (Aristophanes Quotes)
Look at the orators in our republics; as long as they are poor, both state and people can only praise their uprightness; but once they are fattened on the public funds, they conceive a hatred for justice, plan intrigues against the people and attack the democracy (Aristophanes Quotes)
You’re mistaken; men of sense often learn much from their enemies. Prudence is the best safeguard. This principle cannot be learnt from a friend: but an enemy extorts it immediately. It is from their foes and not their friends, that cities learn the lesson of building high walls and ships of war. And this lesson saves their children, their homes, and their properties (Aristophanes Quotes)
When men drink, then they are rich and successful and win lawsuits and are happy and help their friends. Quickly, bring me a beaker of wine, so that I may wet my mind and say something clever (Aristophanes Quotes)
Do not bandy words with your father, nor treat him as a dotard, nor reproach the old man, who has cherished you, with his age (Aristophanes Quotes)
The gods, my dear simple fellow, are a mere expression coined by vulgar superstition. We frown upon such coinage here (Aristophanes Quotes)
Does it seem that everything is extravagance in the world, or rather madness, when you watch the way things go? A crowd of rogues enjoy blessings they have won by sheer injustice, while more honest folks are miserable and die of hunger (Aristophanes Quotes)
It often happens that less depends upon the valor of an army than the skill of the leader (Aristophanes Quotes)
It is the compelling power of great thoughts and ideas to engender phrases of equal size (Aristophanes Quotes)
There is no beast, no rush of fire, like woman so untamed. She calmly goes her way where even panthers would be shamed (Aristophanes Quotes)
A man should be able to stand up under any disaster for his country’s good (Aristophanes Quotes)
Mix and knead together all the state business as you do for your sausages. To win the people, always cook them some savory that pleases them (Aristophanes Quotes)
Woman is adept at getting money for herself and will not easily let herself be deceived; she understands deceit too well herself (Aristophanes Quotes)
A demagogue must be neither an educated nor an honest man; he has to be an ignoramus and a rogue (Aristophanes Quotes)
If a man owes me money, I never seem to forget. But if I do the owing, I somehow never remember (Aristophanes Quotes)
An insult directed at the wicked is not to be censured; on the contrary, the honest man, if he has sense, can only applaud (Aristophanes Quotes)
It should not prejudice my voice that I’m not born a man, if I say something advantageous to the present situation. For I’m taxed too, and as a toll provide men for the nation (Aristophanes Quotes)
You can’t have anything else to say: you’ve poured out every drop of what you know (Aristophanes Quotes)
I would treat her like an egg, the shell of which we remove before eating it; I would take off her mask and then kiss her pretty face (Aristophanes Quotes)
It is right that the good should be happy, that the wicked and the impious on the other hand, should be miserable; that is a truth, I believe, which no one will gainsay (Aristophanes Quotes)
I saw a cavalry captain buy vegetable soup on horseback. He carried the whole mess home in his helmet (Aristophanes Quotes)
