[PW] Re: Children and fools always speak the truth - source

[Jeff Imparato]

I should have quoted my source which quotes Euripides, but astute friend
has just done it.  So from this can anyone elaborate on where Erasmus
got his source?

Greetings fellow w*mb at s,

We have a patron wanting to know the exact source of "Children and fools
always speak the truth." We found a paragraph attributing it to
Euripides (with the greek letters accompanying).  

Does anyone have the exact source of this proverb?

Thanks,
Jeff
