Aeschylus - Agamemnon

I know how men in exile feed on dreams of hope.

Death is better, a milder fate than tyranny.
Aeschylus
It is a profitable thing, if one is wise, to seem foolish.
Aeschylus
I would far rather be ignorant than wise in the foreboding of evil.
Aeschylus
In war, truth is the first casualty.
Aeschylus
O Death the Healer, scorn thou not, I pray,
To come to me: of cureless ills thou art
The one physician. Pain lays not its touch
Upon a corpse.
Aeschylus - Prometheus Bound
Words are the physicians of the mind diseased.

It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered.
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
It is a profitable thing, if one is wise, to seem foolish.
Aeschylus - The Seven Against Thebes
His resolve is not to seem, but to be, the best.
Aeschylus - Prometheus Bound
Time as he grows old teaches all things.
