"This eternal Greece" a Greece Travel Page by magor65

He is a man of sense who does not grieve for what he has not, but rejoices in what he has.
Euripides

The energy of the mind is the essence of life.
Aristotle

Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but deserving them.
Aristotle

By all means marry. If you get a good wife you will become happy, and if you get a bad one you will become a philosopher.
Socrates

Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here, and when it does come, we no longer exist.
Epicurus

Candles

Days to come stand in front of us
like a row of burning candles -
golden, warm and vivid candles.

Days past fall behind us,
a gloomy line of burnt-out candles;
the nearest ones are still smoking,
cold, melted and bent.

I don't want to look at them:
their shape saddens me,
and it saddens me to recall their first light.
I look ahead at my burning candles.

I don't want to turn back, don't want to see, terrified,
how quickly the dark line gets longer,
how quickly one more dead candle joins another.
Constantine P. Cavafy
