Image
Of all the gods only death does not desire gifts.
Aeschylus
Image
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
Image
ATHENA: There are two sides to this dispute. I've heard only one half the argument. (...) So you two parties, summon your witnesses, set out your proofs, with sworn evidence to back your stories. Once I've picked the finest men in Athens, I'll return. They'll rule fairly in this case, bound by a sworn oath to act with justice.

Aeschylus
Image
Wisdom comes through suffering. Trouble, with its memories of pain, Drips in our hearts as we try to sleep, So men against their will Learn to practice moderation. Favours come to us from gods.
Aeschylus
Image
God lends a helping hand to the man who tries hard.
Aeschylus
Image
To many mortals silence great gain brings.
Aeschylus
Image
For the poison of hatred seated near the heart doubles the burden for the one who suffers the disease he is burdened with his own sorrow, and groans on seeing another's happiness.
Aeschylus
Image
The gods at will can shape a gladder strain, and from the lamentations at the graveside, a song of triumph may arise.
Aeschylus
Image
Fear is stronger than arms.
Aeschylus
Image
Obstinacy standing alone is the weakest of all things in one whose mind is not possessed by wisdom.
Aeschylus
Image
Art is far feebler than necessity.
Aeschylus
Image
Oh, it is easy for the one who stands outside the prison-wall of pain to exhort and teach the one who suffers.
Aeschylus
