More quotes by Homer
And not a man appears to tell their fate.
Homer
I hate To tell again a tale once fully told.
Homer
It is wrong to sorrow without ceasing.
Homer
The best thing in the world [is] a strong house held in serenity where man and wife agree.
Homer
[But] age, the common enemy of mankind, has laid his hand upon you would that it had fallen upon some other, and that you were still young.
Homer
The sun rose on the flawless brimming sea into a sky all brazen-all one brightening for gods immortal and for mortal men on plowlands kind with grain.
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
Two diverse gates there are of bodiless dreams, These of sawn ivory, and those of horn. Such dreams as issue where the ivory gleams Fly without fate, and turn our hopes to scorn. But dreams which issue through the burnished horn, What man soe'er beholds them on his bed, These work with virtue and of truth are born.
Homer
The best things beyond their measure cloy.
Homer
Goddess-nurse of the young, give ear to my prayer, and grant that this woman may reject the love-embraces of youth and dote on grey-haired old men whose powers are dulled, but whose hearts still desire.
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
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
Bear patiently, my heart, for you have suffered heavier things.
Homer
I've gone back in time to when dinosaurs weren't just confined to zoos.
Homer
In saffron-colored mantle from the tides Of Oceans rose the Morning to bright light TO gods and men.
Homer
There is nothing alive more agonized than man / of all that breathe and crawl across the earth.
Homer
A man who has been through bitter experiences and travelled far enjoys even his sufferings after a time
Homer
No season now for calm, familiar talk.
Homer
Insignificant mortals, who are as leaves are, and now flourish and grow warm with life, and feed on what the ground gives, but then again fade away and are dead.
Homer
It behooves a father to be blameless if he expects his child to be.
Homer
