More quotes by Aeschylus

Aeschylus
Words are the parents of a causeless wrath.
Aeschylus
High fortune, this in man's eye is god and more than god is this.
Aeschylus
Bronze is the mirror of form, wine of the heart.
Aeschylus
There's only few people who have strength to honor someone's achievement without envy.
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

Aeschylus
Death is easier than a wretched life and better never to have born than to live and fare badly.
Aeschylus
In every tyrant's heart there springs in the end this poison, that he cannot trust a friend.
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
Only through suffering do we learn
Aeschylus
In few men is it part of nature to respect a friend's prosperity without begrudging him.
Aeschylus
Courage! Suffering, when it climbs highest, lasts not long.
Aeschylus
To make wail and lament for one's ill fortune, when one will win a tear from the audience, is well worthwhile.
Aeschylus
The laws of a state change with the changing times.
Aeschylus
Necessity is stronger far than art.
Aeschylus
The seed of mortals broods o'er passing things, and hath nought surer than the smoke-cloud's shadow.
Aeschylus
