Aeschylus

God's most lordly gift to man is decency of mind.

God loves to help him who strives to help himself.

God always strives together with those who strive.

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.

God lends a helping hand to the man who tries hard.

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

Obedience is the mother of success and is wedded to safety.

God loves to help him who strives to help himself.

From a small seed a mighty trunk may grow.

God always strives together with those who strive.
