More quotes by Homer
Whenever a man is tired, wine is a great restorer of strength.
Homer
Men are so quick to blame the gods: they say that we devise their misery. But they themselves- in their depravity- design grief greater than the griefs that fate assigns.
Homer
Who ne'er knew salt, or heard the billows roar.
Homer
I can't even say the word 'titmouse' without giggling like a schoolgirl.
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
Whoever among men who walk the Earth has seen these Mysteries is blessed, but whoever in uninitiated and has not received his share of the rite, he will not have the same lot as the others, once he is dead and dwells in the mould where the sun goes down.
Homer
The other day, I was so desperate for a beer, I snuck into the football stadium and ate the dirt under the bleachers.
Homer
It is better to watch people do stuff than to do stuff.
Homer
The journey is the thing.
Homer
It is the bold man who every time does best, at home or abroad.
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
Hateful to me as are the gates of hell, Is he who, hiding one thing in his heart, Utters another.
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
The proof of battle is action, proof of words, debate. No time for speeches now, it's time to fight.
Homer
Clanless, lawless, homeless is he who is in love with civil war, that brutal ferocious thing.
Homer
And here I am using my own lungs like a sucker.
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
The long historian of my country's woes.
Homer
A gun is not a weapon! It's a tool, like a butcher's knife, or a harpoon, or an alligator.
Homer
We all scribble poetry.
Homer
