Emboldens men to dare damnation,
And starts the wheels of doom which roll
Relentless to their piteous goal.

Additional quotes by Aeschylus

In visions of the night, like dropping rain,
Descend the many memories of pain

Κέρδιστον εὖ φρονοῦντα μὴ φρονεῖν δοκεῖν.

There are times when fear is good. It must keep its watchful place at the heart's controls. There is advantage in the wisdom won from pain.
