" "
Δύσφρων γὰρ ἰὸς καρδίαν προσήμενος
ἄχθος διπλοίζει τῷ πεπαμένῳ νόσον·
τοῖς τ' αὐτὸς αὑτοῦ πήμασιν βαρύνεται
καὶ τὸν θυραῖον ὄλβον εἰσορῶν στένει.

Additional quotes by Aeschylus

დახეთ, პაწია ბიჭუნები კარებთან წვანან,
თითქოს, ძილფხიზლად გადასულან უღრან სიზმრებში

While from inward health doth flow,
Beloved of all, true bliss which mortals seek.

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
