More quotes by Homer
Without question it may be said of Vancouver that her position, geographically, is Imperial to a degree, that her possibilities are enormous, and that with but a feeble stretch of the imagination those possibilities might wisely be deemed certainties.
Homer
[B]ut it is only what happens, when they die, to all mortals. The sinews no longer hold the flesh and the bones together, and once the spirit has let the white bones, all the rest of the body is made subject to the fire's strong fury, but the soul flitters out like a dream and flies away.
Homer
Hateful to me as are the gates of hell, Is he who, hiding one thing in his heart, Utters another.
Homer
Sweet sleep fell upon his eyelids, unwakeful, most pleasant, the nearest like death.
Homer
We are quick to flare up, we races of men on the earth.
Homer
…but there they lay, sprawled across the field, craved far more by the vultures than by wives.
Homer
Do not beg me by knees or by parents you dog! I only wish I were savagely wrathful enough to hack up your corpse and eat it raw
Homer
Over the wine-dark sea.
Homer
Wine lead to folly, making even the wise to laugh immoderately, to dance, and to utter what had better have been kept silent.
Homer
There is nothing alive more agonized than man / of all that breathe and crawl across the earth.
Homer
When are people going to learn? Democracy doesn't work.
Homer
Men in their generations are like the leaves of the trees. The wind blows and one year's leaves are scattered on the ground but the trees burst into bud and put on fresh ones when the spring comes round.
Homer
Even were sleep is concerned, too much is a bad thing.
Homer
I detest the man who hides on thing in the depths of his heart and speaks forth another.
Homer
It is always the latest song that an audience applauds the most.
Homer
Shoulder-to-shoulder, swing to the work, we must - just two as we are - if we hope to make some headway. The worst cowards, banded together, have their power, but you and I have got the skill to fight their best.
Homer
I'm a rageaholic. I just can't live without rageahol.
Homer
Once harm has been done, even a fool understands it.
Homer
Shame greatly hurts or greatly helps mankind.
Homer
Thou knowst the oer-eager vehemence of youth,How quick in temper, and in judgement weak.
Homer
