More quotes by Aeschylus
But when the dust has drunk the blood of men, no resurrection comes for one who's dead.
Aeschylus
Death hath a fairer fame than a life of toil.
Aeschylus
Rumours voiced by women come to nothing.
Aeschylus
Beyond age, leaf withered, man goes three footed no stronger than a child is, a dream that falters in daylight.
Aeschylus
Old age hath stronger sense of right than youth.
Aeschylus
The so-called mother of the child isn't the child's begetter, but only a sort of nursing soil for the new-sown seed. The man, the one on top, is the true parent, while she, a stranger, foster's a stranger's sprout.
Aeschylus
Few men have the natural strength to honor a friend's success without envy.
Aeschylus
My will is mine...I shall not make it soft for you.
Aeschylus
Good fortune is a god among men, and more than a god.
Aeschylus
The burning gaze of a young woman, such as hath tasted man, shall not escape me for I have a spirit keen to mark these things.
Aeschylus
You have been trapped in the inescapable net of ruin by your own want of sense.
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
Many among men are they who set high the show of honor, yet break justice.
Aeschylus
But still the block of Vengeance firm doth stand, and Fate, as swordsmith, hammers blow on blow.
Aeschylus
It is always the season for the old to learn.
Aeschylus
Oaths are not the credit of men but men of oaths.
Aeschylus
Jars neither of wine nor of water shall fail in the houses of the rich.
Aeschylus
Once to die is better than length of days in sorrow without end.
Aeschylus
Neither a life of anarchy nor a life under a despot should you praise. To all that lies in the middle has a god given excellence.
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.
Aeschylus
