For the poison of hatred seated near the heart doubles the burden for the one who suffers the disease he is burdened with his own sorrow, and groans on seeing another's happiness.

Rumours voiced by women come to nothing.
Aeschylus
Wisdom comes through suffering. Trouble, with its memories of pain, Drips in our hearts as we try to sleep, So men against their will Learn to practice moderation. Favours come to us from gods.
Aeschylus
The reward of pain is experience.
Aeschylus
Bonds and the pangs of hunger are excellent prophet doctors for the wits.
Aeschylus
The truth Has to be melted out of our stubborn lives By suffering. Nothing speaks the truth, Nothing tells us how things really are, Nothing forces us to know What we do not want to know Except pain. And this is how the gods declare their love.
Aeschylus
And now it goes as it goes and where it ends is Fate. And neither by singeing flesh nor tipping cups of wine nor shedding burning tears can you enchant away the rigid Fury.
Aeschylus
Words are healers of the sick tempered.
Aeschylus
The moving light, rejoicing in its strength, Sped from the pyre of pine, and urged its way, In golden glory, like some strange new sun.
Aeschylus
Respect the altar of Justice and do not, looking to profit, dishonor it by spurning with godless foot for punishment will come upon you.
Aeschylus
I willingly speak to those who know, but for those who do not know I forget.
Aeschylus
Watchful are the Gods of all Hands with slaughter stained. The black Furies wait, and when a man Has grown by luck, not justice, great, With sudden overturn of chance They wear him to a shade, and, cast Down to perdition, who shall save him?
Aeschylus
But who can describe the overweening pride of men? Or women mad with passion, reckless in their hearts, soulmates to every kind of ruin that befalls us? Wild passion, unrestrained, boundless, that overcomes the women, perverts the yoke of wedlock for beasts and men alike.
Aeschylus
We shall perish by guile just as we slew.
Aeschylus
When strength is yoked with justice, where is a mightier pair than they?
Aeschylus
