My friends, whoever has had experience of evils knows how whenever a flood of ills comes upon mortals, a man fears everything but whenever a divine force cheers on our voyage, then we believe that the same fate will always blow fair.

More quotes by Aeschylus
It is a light thing for whoever keeps his foot outside trouble to advise and counsel him that suffers.
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
They sent forth men to battle, But no such men return And home, to claim their welcome, Come ashes in an urn
Aeschylus
Who, except the gods, can live time through forever without any pain?
Aeschylus
Alas, poor men, their destiny. When all goes well a shadow will overthrow it. If it be unkind one stroke of a wet sponge wipes all the picture out.
Aeschylus
Time in his aging overtakes all things alike.
Aeschylus
I know how men in exile feed on dreams.
Aeschylus
In the sinews of the dead there is no blood.
Aeschylus
There is a time when fear is good and ought to remain seated as a guardian of the heart.
Aeschylus
Chorus: Zeus, who guided men to think who laid it down that wisdom comes alone through suffering. Still there drips in sleep against the heart grief of memory against our pleasure we are temperate.
Aeschylus
Words are the parents of a causeless wrath.
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
Myriad laughter of the ocean waves.
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
Don't you know this, that words are doctors to a diseased temperment?
Aeschylus
Unjustly men hate death, which is the greatest defence against their many ills.
Aeschylus
Truth is always the first casualty of war.
Aeschylus
We spoil ourselves with scruples long as things go well.
Aeschylus
There is no disgrace in an enemy suffering ill at an enemy's hand, when you hate mutually.
Aeschylus
Simple is the speech of truth.
Aeschylus
