Aeschylus

“When strength is yoked with justice, where is a mightier pair than they?”

“I, schooled in misery, know many purifying rites, and I know where speech is proper and where silence.”

“I know how men in exile feed on dreams.”

“I would rather be ignorant than knowledgeable of evils.”

“And there they ring the walls, the young, the lithe. The handsome hold the graves they won in Troy; the enemy earth rides over those who conquered.”

“I beg you, alight and join your sorrow with mine: misfortune wanders everywhere, and settles now upon one and now upon another.”

“It is good even for old men to learn wisdom.”

“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.”

“Since long I've held silence a remedy for harm.”

“Don't you know this, that words are doctors to a diseased temperment?”

“Of all the gods only death does not desire gifts.”

“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.”

“He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.”

“Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times.”

“Death is easier than a wretched life; and better never to have born than to live and fare badly.”

“Ah, lives of men! When prosperous they glitter - Like a fair picture; when misfortune comes - A wet sponge at one blow has blurred the painting.”

“We shall perish by guile just as we slew.”

“אלוהים משתף פעולה עם כל אדם המוּנע על ידי תשוקה נלהבת.”

“הדיבור משכך את הכעס.”

“טוב ללמוד להיות חכם בבית ספרו של היגון.”
