More quotes by Homer
Who ne'er knew salt, or heard the billows roar.

The gods give to mortals not everything at the same time.
Homer

Homer
Bear patiently, my heart, for you have suffered heavier things.
Homer
There is satiety in all things, in sleep, and love-making, in the loveliness of singing and the innocent dance.
Homer
You can't go wrong with cocktail weenies. They look as good as they taste. And they come in this delicious red sauce. It looks like ketchup, it tastes like ketchup, but brother, it ain't ketchup!
Homer
You will certainly not be able to take the lead in all things yourself, for to one man a god has given deeds of war, and to another the dance, to another lyre and song, and in another wide-sounding Zeus puts a good mind.
Homer
But you can't stop at one, you wanna drink another woman!
Homer
The glorious gifts of the gods are not to be cast aside.

Victory passes back and forth between men.
Homer
It is not strength, but art, obtains the prize, And to be swift is less than to be wise.
Homer
Life is not to be bought with heaps of gold Not all Apollo's Pythian treasures hold, Or Troy once held, in peace and pride of sway, Can bribe the poor possession of the day.
Homer
Two friends, two bodies with one soul inspired.
Homer
I should rather labor as another's serf, in the home of a man without fortune, one whose livelihood was meager, than rule over all the departed dead.
Homer
Like a girl, a baby running after her mother, begging to be picked up, and she tugs on her skirts, holding her back as she tries to hurry off—all tears, fawning up at her, till she takes her in her arms… That’s how you look, Patroclus, streaming live tears.
Homer
Two urns on Jove's high throne have ever stood, the source of evil one, and one of good from thence the cup of mortal man he fills, blessings to these, to those distributes ills to most he mingles both.
Homer
