More quotes by Homer

Homer
I detest the man who hides on thing in the depths of his heart and speaks forth another.
Homer

Homer
Heaven hears and pities hapless men like me, For sacred ev'n to gods is misery.
Homer

Homer
O friends, be men so act that none may feel Ashamed to meet the eyes of other men. Think each one of this children and his wife, His home, his parents, living yet and dead. For them, the absent ones, I supplicate, And bid you rally here, and scorn to fly.
Homer
But you can't stop at one, you wanna drink another woman!
Homer
She sent him a warm and gentle wind, and Lord Odysseus was happy as he set his sails to catch the breeze. He sat beside the steering oar and used his skill to steer the raft.
Homer
When are people going to learn? Democracy doesn't work.
Homer
Jove lifts the golden balances that show The fates of mortal men, and things below.
Homer
There is nothing more dread and more shameless than a woman who plans such deeds in her heart as the foul deed which she plotted when she contrived her husband's murder.
Homer
