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.

Memory is the mother of all wisdom.
Aeschylus
I, schooled in misery, know many purifying rites, and I know where speech is proper and where silence.
Aeschylus
As long as there are men the bulwark is safe.
Aeschylus
By suffering comes wisdom.
Aeschylus
Justice inclines her scales so that wisdom comes at the price of suffering.
Aeschylus
Overly persuasive a woman's ordinance spreads far, traveling fast but fast dying a rumor voiced by a woman perishes.
Aeschylus
Don't try to make intelligent decisions when your brain is hyped
Aeschylus
Simple is the speech of truth.
Aeschylus
When a man's willing and eager the god's join in.
Aeschylus
Whoever is just willingly and without compulsion will not lack happiness he will never be utterly destroyed.
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
It is always in season for old men to learn.
Aeschylus
Willingly no one chooses the yoke of slavery.
Aeschylus
You'll see all other mortal sinners, the ones who flout the honor owed to gods or guests, or loving parents--you'll see them get the justice they deserve. For Hades holds men mightily to a strict accounting down below the earth he sees all things, inscribes them within the book of his remembering.
Aeschylus
Unanimous hatred is the greatest medicine for a human community.
Aeschylus
To be fortunate is God, and more than God to mortals.
Aeschylus
God is not averse to deceit in a holy cause.
Aeschylus
Only when a man's life comes to its end in prosperity dare we pronounce him happy.
Aeschylus
But I must bear my destiny as best I can, knowing well that there is no resisting the strength of necessity.
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
