I picked a quote for my language paper:
I’ll be writing about the fear of God.As [Zeus] determines, so he acts. It hath been said by some one that the gods deign not to be mindful of mortals who trample underfoot the grace of inviolable sanctities. But that man knew not the fear of God!
Now standeth revealed how ruin is the penalty for reckless crime when men breathe a spirit of pride above just measure for that their mansions teem with abundance o’erpassing their best good. But let there be such portion of wealth as bringeth no distress, so that he who hath a goodly share of sound sense may have a sufficiency therewith. For riches are no bulwark to the man who in wantonness hath spurned from his sight the mighty altar of Righteousness.AESCHYLUS
