More quotes by Aeschylus
Joy steals upon me, such joy as calls forth tears.
Aeschylus
The will was of Zeus, the hand of Hephaestus.
Aeschylus
To mourn and bewail your ill-fortune, when you will gain a tear from those who listen, this is worth the trouble.
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
Remember to be submissive, thou art analien, a fugitive, and in need.
Aeschylus
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
. . . it is yours women's to be silent and stay within doors.
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
The so-called mother of the child isn't the child's begetter, but only a sort of nursing soil for the new-sown seed. The man, the one on top, is the true parent, while she, a stranger, foster's a stranger's sprout.
Aeschylus
Base men who prosper are unenviable.
Aeschylus
Wisdom cometh by suffering.
Aeschylus
The one knowing what is profitable, and not the man knowing many things, is wise.
Aeschylus
When a match has equal partners then I fear not.
Aeschylus
The seed of mortals broods o'er passing things, and hath nought surer than the smoke-cloud's shadow.
Aeschylus
Whoever is new to power is always harsh.
Aeschylus
And now it goes as it goes and where it ends is Fate. And neither by singeing flesh nor tipping cups of wine nor shedding burning tears can you enchant away the rigid Fury.
Aeschylus
Know yourself and fit yourself to new fashions. For there is a new ruler among the gods.
Aeschylus
The act of evil breeds others to follow, young sins in its own likeness.
Aeschylus
I have learned to hate all traitors, and there is no disease that I spit on more than treachery.
Aeschylus
If you are not envied, you are not enviable.
Aeschylus
