“Friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness.” — Euripides
(All I know about Euripides is: Euripides pants, you buy a dis suit! It sounds like a Marx Brothers’ quip. Probably Chico, but I can’t be sure. Eh. The guy might have written a play, or two. All I know is that this is the first time a quote of his has been used for the Cryptoquote! At least since I’ve been posting these spoilers. Welcome to the club, Pides! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

It probably was more elaborate in the ancient Greek, but it’s similar to our saying, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.”
Are you telling me you’ve never heard that old gag, Roy??? — YUR
haha
My wife does the quote, I always check in with you. Your comment concerning Euripides was very funny! Thanks for doing this!
My pleasure, Bill. — YUR
