Additional quotes by Aeschylus

For not many men . . . can love a friend who fortune prospers without envying; and about the envious brain cold poison clings and doubles all the pain life brings him. His own woundings he must nurse, and feel another's gladness like a curse.

Marvels, the Earth breeds many marvels,
terrible marvels overwhelm us.
The heaving arms of the sea embrace and swarm
with savage life. And high in the no man's land of night
torches hang like swords.

Bethink thee of the adage, 'Call none blest, till peaceful death have crowned a life of weal.

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