Φίλοι, κακῶν μὲν ὅστις ἔμπειρος κυρεῖ, ἐπίσταται βροτοῖσιν … - Aeschylus

" "
Φίλοι, κακῶν μὲν ὅστις ἔμπειρος κυρεῖ,
ἐπίσταται βροτοῖσιν ὡς, ὅταν κλύδων
κακῶν ἐπέλθῃ, πάντα δειμαίνειν φίλον,
ὅταν δ᾽ ὁ δαίμων εὐροῇ, πεποιθέναι
τὸν αὐτὸν αἰὲν ἄνεμον οὐριεῖν τύχας.

Additional quotes by Aeschylus

Kόμπασον θαρσῶν, ἀλέκτωρ ὥστε θηλείας πέλας.

და მათივ ხორცით ილუკმება მშობელი მამა

Guard well and reverence that form of government
Which will eschew alike licence and slavery;
And from your polity do not wholly banish fear.
For what man living, freed from fear, will still be just?
Hold fast such upright fear of the law’s sanctity
