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.

And one who is just of his own free will shall not lack for happiness and he will never come to utter ruin.

Death is softer by far than tyranny.

For children preserve the fame of a man after his death.

Of all the gods only death does not desire gifts.

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

The wisest of the wise may err.

I know how men in exile feed on dreams.

From a small seed a mighty trunk may grow.

Words are the physicians of a mind diseased.

When a man's willing and eager God joins in.

God loves to help him who strives to help himself.

So in the Libyan fable it is told That once an eagle stricken with a dart Said when he saw the fashion of the shaft 'With our own feathers not by others' hands Are we now smitten.'

He hears but half who hears one party only.

To the man who himself strives earnestly God also lends a helping hand.

Fear is stronger than arms.

There are times when fear is good. It must keep its watchful place at the heart's controls.

Delay not to seize the hour!
