More quotes by Aeschylus
. . . it is yours women's to be silent and stay within doors.
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

Aeschylus
There is no sickness worse for me than words that to be kind must lie.
Aeschylus

Aeschylus
A prosperous fool is a grievous burden.
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
What exists outside is a man's concern let no woman give advice and do no mischief within doors.
Aeschylus
The best by far is to marry in one's own rank.
Aeschylus
Death is easier than a wretched life and better never to have born than to live and fare badly.
Aeschylus
For not many men, the proverb saith, can love a friend whom fortune prospereth unenvying.
Aeschylus
The laws of a state change with the changing times.
Aeschylus
Success! to thee, as to a God, men bend the knee.
Aeschylus
But let the good prevail.
Aeschylus
