More quotes by Homer
All strangers and beggars are from Zeus, and a gift, though small, is precious.
Homer
A hunter of shadows, himself a shade.
Homer
For afterwards a man finds pleasure in his pains, when he has suffered long and wandered long. So I will tell you what you ask and seek to know.
Homer
It is a wise child that knows his own father. [Lat., Nondum enim quisquam suum parentem ipse cognosvit.]
Homer
To be loved, you have to be nice to people, everyday. But to be hated, you don't have to do squat!
Homer
I, for one, know of no sweeter sight for a man's eyes than his own country.
Homer
He lives not long who battles with the immortals, nor do his children prattle about his knees when he has come back from battle and the dread fray.
Homer
Over the wine-dark sea.
Homer
One man is a splendid fighter -- a god has made him so -- one's a dancer, another skilled at lyre and song, and deep in the next man's chest farseeing Zeus plants the gift of judgment, good clear sense. And many reap the benefits of that treasure.
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
It is the bold man who every time does best, at home or abroad.
Homer
Without a sign, his sword the brave man draws, and asks no omen, but his country's cause.
Homer
Beauty! Terrible Beauty! A deathless Goddess-- so she strikes our eyes!
Homer
I'm a Spalding Gray in a Rick Dees world.
Homer
[B]ut it is only what happens, when they die, to all mortals. The sinews no longer hold the flesh and the bones together, and once the spirit has let the white bones, all the rest of the body is made subject to the fire's strong fury, but the soul flitters out like a dream and flies away.
Homer
Restrain yourself... and gloat in silence. I'll have no jubilation here. It is an impious thing to exult over the slain.
Homer
There is satiety in all things, in sleep, and love-making, in the loveliness of singing and the innocent dance.
Homer
There is a fullness of all things, even of sleep and love.
Homer
I can't even say the word 'titmouse' without giggling like a schoolgirl.
Homer
For never, never, wicked man was wise.
Homer
