Aeschylus

“God loves to help him who strives to help himself.”

“Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times.”

“For the poison of hatred seated near the heart doubles the burden for the one who suffers the disease; he is burdened with his own sorrow, and groans on seeing another's happiness.”

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

“From a small seed a mighty trunk may grow.”

“When a man's willing and eager the god's join in.”

“My friends, whoever has had experience of evils knows how whenever a flood of ills comes upon mortals, a man fears everything; but whenever a divine force cheers on our voyage, then we believe that the same fate will always blow fair.”

“Excessive fear is always powerless.”
