Image
ATHENA: There are two sides to this dispute. I've heard only one half the argument. (...) So you two parties, summon your witnesses, set out your proofs, with sworn evidence to back your stories. Once I've picked the finest men in Athens, I'll return. They'll rule fairly in this case, bound by a sworn oath to act with justice.
Aeschylus
Image
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

Of all the gods, Death only craves not gifts: Nor sacrifice, nor yet drink-offering poured Avails no altars hath he, nor is soothed By hymns of praise. From him alone of all The powers of heaven Persuasion holds aloof.

The act of evil breeds others to follow, young sins in its own likeness.

I willingly speak to those who know, but for those who do not know I forget.

With our own feathers, not by others' hands, Are we now smitten.

The unenvied man is not enviable.

For a murderous blow let murderous blow atone.
Aeschylus
Image
And though all streams flow from a single course to cleanse the blood from polluted hand, they hasten on their course in vain.
Aeschylus
Image
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.
Aeschylus
Image
We spoil ourselves with scruples long as things go well.
Aeschylus
Image
Jars neither of wine nor of water shall fail in the houses of the rich.
Aeschylus
