More quotes by Homer
The long historian of my country's woes.
Homer
There is satiety in all things, in sleep, and love-making, in the loveliness of singing and the innocent dance.
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
All men have need of the gods.
Homer
Friend, many and many a dream is mere confusion a cobweb of no consequence at all. Two gates for ghostly dreams there are: One gateway of honest horn, and one of ivory. Issuing by the ivory gate are dreams of glimmering illusion, fantasies, but those that come through solid polished horn may be borne out, if mortals only know them.
Homer
Of men who have a sense of honor, more come through alive than are slain, but from those who flee comes neither glory nor any help.
Homer
Canada? Why would I want to leave America just to visit America, Jr.?
Homer
Behold, on wrong Swift vengeance waits and art subdues the strong.
Homer
Because they're stupid, that's why. That's why everybody does everything.
Homer
Thou wilt lament Hereafter, when the evil shall be done And shall admit no cure.
Homer
Why, you could wake up dead tomorrow
Homer
In youth and beauty, wisdom is but rare!
Homer
Our fruitless labours mourn, And only rich in barren fame return.
Homer
And Heaven, that every virtue bears in mind, E'en to the ashes of the just is kind.
Homer
The best thing in the world [is] a strong house held in serenity where man and wife agree.
Homer
Short is my date, but deathless my renown.
Homer
I'm satisfied. It's straight,...but it's just so hot, and I'm just so fraustrated.
Homer
Fear, O Achilles, the wrath of heaven think on your own father and have compassion upon me, who am the more pitiable
Homer
Which would you rather be, a conqueror in the Olympic games, or the crier that proclaims who are conquerors?
Homer
All things are in the hand of heaven, and Folly, eldest of Jove's daughters, shuts men's eyes to their destruction. She walks delicately, not on the solid earth, but hovers over the heads of men to make them stumble or to ensnare them.
Homer
