Aeschylus

Justice turns the scale, bringing to some learning through suffering.

But time growing old teaches all things.

For there is no defense for a man who, in the excess of his wealth, has kicked the great altar of Justice out of sight.

What atonement is there for blood spilt upon the earth?

There are times when fear is good. It must keep its watchful place at the heart's controls.

The anvil of justice is planted firm, and fate who makes the sword does the forging in advance.

When strength is yoked with justice, where is a mightier pair than they?

To mourn and bewail your ill-fortune, when you will gain a tear from those who listen, this is worth the trouble.

The evils of mortals are manifold; nowhere is trouble of the same wing seen.

It is a light thing for whoever keeps his foot outside trouble to advise and counsel him that suffers.

Ah, lives of men! When prosperous they glitter - Like a fair picture; when misfortune comes - A wet sponge at one blow has blurred the painting.

For this is the mark of a wise and upright man, not to rail against the gods in misfortune.
