Additional quotes by Aeschylus

He has opened the way of wisdom to mortals, by proclaiming as a sovereign law: By suffering comes understanding

Words are doctors for the diseased temper.

Praise not, O man, the life beyond control,
Nor that which bows unto a tyrant's sway.
Know that the middle way
Is dearest unto God, and they, thereon who wend,
They shall achieve the end.
