Old men, what are they? Fast fading the leaf, Three-footed they walk, yet frail as a child, As a dream set afloat in the daylight.
Aeschylus

He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.
Aeschylus
Image
In every tyrant's heart there springs in the end this poison, that he cannot trust a friend.
Aeschylus
Image
The man who does ill, ill must suffer too.
Aeschylus

Wiles and deceit are female qualities.

It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered.

In few men is it part of nature to respect a friend's prosperity without begrudging him.
