About this Quote

This quote by Euripides is a reflection on the power of words and how they can be used to make promises that are not constantly kept. It recommends that although someone might have said something, it does not necessarily imply that they indicated it. The speaker is acknowledging that they might have said something in the heat of the moment, however that it was not a true reflection of their feelings or objectives. This quote is a tip that words can be effective and need to be used carefully, as they can have a long lasting effect. It also serves as a cautioning to be conscious of the pledges we make and to be honest with ourselves and others about our true intents.
