For this our task hath Fate spun without fail to last for ever sure, that we on man weighed down with deeds of hate should follow till the earth his life immure. Nor when he dies can he boast of being truly free.
Aeschylus

More quotes by Aeschylus
No one can count the terrors that the earth spawns, catastrophic, gruesome, and the vast arms of the sea swarm with brute monsters bent on harm, and everywhere between the sky and ground lights bloom by day in flares and sudden bolts and birds and beasts alike can tell of the whirlwind's whirling wrath.
Aeschylus
Only through suffering do we learn
Aeschylus
There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief.
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
Suffering brings experience.
Aeschylus
I pray the gods some respite from the weary task of this long year's watch that lying on the Atreidae's roof on bended arm, dog- like, I have kept, marking the conclave of all night's stars, those potentates blazing in the heavens that bring winter and summer to mortal men, the constellations, when they wane, when they rise.
Aeschylus
I have learned to hate all traitors, and there is no disease that I spit on more than treachery.
Aeschylus
From a just fraud God turneth not away.
Aeschylus
If you pour oil and vinegar into the same vessel, you would call them not friends but opponents.
Aeschylus
Courage! Suffering, when it climbs highest, lasts not long.
Aeschylus
Zeus, first cause, prime mover for what thing without Zeus is done among mortals?
Aeschylus
A man dies not for the many wounds that pierce his breast, unless it be that life's end keep pace with death, nor by sitting on his hearth at home doth he the more escape his appointed doom.
Aeschylus
It is always the season for the old to learn.
Aeschylus
There is advantage in the wisdom won from pain.
Aeschylus
The act of evil breeds others to follow, young sins in its own likeness.
Aeschylus
Remember to be submissive, thou art analien, a fugitive, and in need.
Aeschylus
It is easy when we are in prosperity to give advice to the afflicted.
Aeschylus
Reverence for parents stands written among the three laws of most revered righteousness.
Aeschylus
Of all the gods, Death only craves not gifts: Nor sacrifice, nor yet drink-offering poured Avails no altars hath he, nor is soothed By hymns of praise. From him alone of all The powers of heaven Persuasion holds aloof.
Aeschylus
O Death the Healer, scorn thou not, I pray, To come to me: of cureless ills thou art The one physician. Pain lays not its touch Upon a corpse.
Aeschylus
