More quotes by Aeschylus

Aeschylus
God planteth in mortal men the cause of sin whensoever he wills utterly to destroy a house.
Aeschylus

Aeschylus
The evils of mortals are manifold nowhere is trouble of the same wing seen.
Aeschylus
I pray for no more youth To perish before its prime That Revenge and iron-heated War May fade with all that has gone before Into the night of time.
Aeschylus
We shall perish by guile just as we slew.
Aeschylus
Alas for the affairs of men! When they are fortunate you might compare them to a shadow and if they are unfortunate, a wet sponge with one dash wipes the picture away.
Aeschylus
The saying goes that the gods leave a town once it is captured.
Aeschylus
In few men is it part of nature to respect a friend's prosperity without begrudging him.
Aeschylus
On me the tempest falls. It does not make me tremble. O holy Mother Earth, O air and sun, behold me. I am wronged.
Aeschylus
