Aeschylus

Bastions of wealth are no deference for the man who treads the grand altar of Justice down and out of sight.

Aeschylus

Be bold and boast, just like the cock beside the hen.

Aeschylus

Bronze in the mirror of the form, wine of the mind.

Aeschylus

But there is a cure in the house, and not outside it, no, not from others but from them, their bloody strife. We sing to you, dark gods beneath the earth.

Aeschylus

But time growing old teaches all things.

Aeschylus

But when once the earth has sucked up a dead man’s blood, there is no way to raise him up.

Aeschylus

By the sword you did your work, and by the sword you die.

Aeschylus

Death hath a fairer fame than a life of toil.

Aeschylus

Death is a softer thing by far than tyranny.

Aeschylus

Death is easier than a wretched life; and better never to have born than to live and fare badly.

Aeschylus
