Aeschylus
In the lack of judgment great harm arises, but one vote cast can set right a house.
Aeschylus
The holy heaven yearns to wound the earth, and yearning layeth hold on the earth to join in wedlock the rain, fallen from the amorous heaven, impregnates the earth, and it bringeth forth for mankind the food of flocks and herds and Demeter's gifts and from that moist marriage-rite the woods put on their bloom.
Aeschylus
Obstinacy standing alone is the weakest of all things in one whose mind is not possessed by wisdom.
Aeschylus
Justice inclines her scales so that wisdom comes at the price of suffering.
Aeschylus
The one knowing what is profitable, and not the man knowing many things, is wise.
Aeschylus
Success is man's god.
Aeschylus
Ask the gods nothing excessive.
Aeschylus
