Yet though a man gets many wounds in breast, He dieth not, unless the appointed time, The limit of his life's span, coincide Nor does the man who by the hearth at home Sits still, escape the doom that Fate decrees.

More quotes by Aeschylus
The unenvied man is not enviable.
Aeschylus
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
Success is man's god.
Aeschylus
The will was of Zeus, the hand of Hephaestus.
Aeschylus
Obedience is the mother of success and is wedded to safety.
Aeschylus
Ask the gods nothing excessive.
Aeschylus
If a man suffers ill, let it be without shame for this is the only profit when we are dead. You will never say a good word about deeds that are evil and disgraceful.
Aeschylus
There is no disgrace in an enemy suffering ill at an enemy's hand, when you hate mutually.
Aeschylus
Time cleanses what it touches over time.
Aeschylus
Death is easier than a wretched life and better never to have born than to live and fare badly.
Aeschylus
Time waxing old can many a lesson teach.
Aeschylus
I warn the marauder dragging plunder, chaotic, rich beyond all rights: he'll strike his sails, harried at long last, stunned when the squalls of torment break his spars to bits.
Aeschylus
Truly upon mortals cometh swift of foot their evil and his offence upon him that trespasseth against Right.
Aeschylus
There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief.
Aeschylus
I say you must not win an unjust case by oaths.
Aeschylus
But I will place this carefully fed pig Within the crackling oven and, I pray, What nicer dish can e'er be given to man.
Aeschylus
I would rather be ignorant than knowledgeable of evils.
Aeschylus
For wherein is life sweet to him who suffers grief?
Aeschylus
For there is no defense for a man who, in the excess of his wealth, has kicked the great altar of Justice out of sight.
Aeschylus
Death hath a fairer fame than a life of toil.
Aeschylus
