Aeschylus

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

For somehow this is tyranny's disease, to trust no friends.

Wisdom comes through suffering.Trouble, with its memories of pain,Drips in our hearts as we try to sleep,So men against their willLearn to practice moderation.Favours come to us from gods.

Alas, poor men, their destiny. When all goes well a shadow will overthrow it. If it be unkind one stroke of a wet sponge wipes all the picture out; and that is far the most unhappy thing of all. -Cassandra

Nothing forces us to knowWhat we do not want to knowExcept pain

There is no avoidance in delay.

For it would be better to die once and for all than to suffer pain for all one's life.

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

It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered.

Rumours voiced by women come to nothing.

Unanimous hatred is the greatest medicine for a human community.

I know how men in exile feed on dreams

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.

For Ares, lord of strife, Who doth the swaying scales of battle hold, War__ money-changer, giving dust for gold, Sends back, to hearts that held them dear, Scant ash of warriors, wept with many a tear, Light to the hand, but heavy to the soul; Yea, fills the light urn full With what survived the flame_ Death__ dusty measure of a hero__ frame!

My heart's a dance of fear.

Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times.

Time, as it grows old, teaches all things.

By polluting clear water with slime you will never find good drinking water.
