More quotes by Aeschylus
Necessity is stronger far than art.
Aeschylus
For the impious act begets more after it, like to the parent stock.
Aeschylus
Neither a life of anarchy nor a life under a despot should you praise. To all that lies in the middle has a god given excellence.
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
Only through suffering do we learn
Aeschylus
Old men, what are they? Fast fading the leaf, Three-footed they walk, yet frail as a child, As a dream set afloat in the daylight.
Aeschylus
Success is man's god.
Aeschylus
May dawn, as the proverb goes, bring happy tidings coming from her mother night.
Aeschylus
In visions of the night, like dropping rain, Descend the many memories of pain.
Aeschylus
God is not averse to deceit in a holy cause.
Aeschylus
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.
Aeschylus
It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered.
Aeschylus
Watchful are the Gods of all Hands with slaughter stained. The black Furies wait, and when a man Has grown by luck, not justice, great, With sudden overturn of chance They wear him to a shade, and, cast Down to perdition, who shall save him?
Aeschylus
God's most lordly gift to man is decency of mind.
Aeschylus
Joy steals upon me, such joy as calls forth tears.
Aeschylus
Ares gives his verdict without witnesses.
Aeschylus
Honor modesty more than your life.
Aeschylus
The reward of suffering is experience
Aeschylus
I have been schooled by my own suffering: I've learned the many ways of being purged.
Aeschylus
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
