More quotes by Homer
All men owe honor to the poets - honor and awe for they are dearest to the Muse who puts upon their lips the ways of life.
Homer
Oall the creatures that creep and breathe on earth, there is none more wretched than man.
Homer
We mortals hear only the news, and know nothing at all.
Homer
Now deep in ocean sunk the lamp of light, And drew behind the cloudy vale of night.
Homer
Whenever a man is tired, wine is a great restorer of strength.
Homer

Homer
It never was our guise to slight the poor, or aught humane despise.
Homer
Two friends, two bodies with one soul inspired.
Homer

Do thou restrain the haughty spirit in thy breast, for better far is gentle courtesy.
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
It is not possible to fight beyond your strength, even if you strive.
Homer
The Grecian ladies counted their age from their marriage, not their birth.
Homer
…but there they lay, sprawled across the field, craved far more by the vultures than by wives.
Homer
It's disgraceful how these humans blame the gods. They say their tribulations come from us, when they themselves, through their own foolishness, bring hardships which are not decreed by Fate.
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 best things beyond their measure cloy.
Homer
