Homer
For a friend with an understanding heart is worth no less than a brother
Homer
When are people going to learn? Democracy doesn't work.
Homer

Homer
The single best augury is to fight for one's country.
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
To heal divisions, to relieve the oppress'd, In virtue rich in blessing others, bless'd.
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
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
The difficulty is not so great to die for a friend, as to find a friend worth dying for.
Homer
Lay ye down the golden chain From Heaven, and pull at its inferior links Both Goddesses and Gods.
Homer
It is a wise child that knows his own father. [Lat., Nondum enim quisquam suum parentem ipse cognosvit.]

Homer

Homer
A decent boldness ever meets with friends.
Homer
You ought not to practice childish ways, since you are no longer that age.
Homer
I would rather be tied to the soil as a serf... than be king of all these dead and destroyed.
Homer
There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends.
Homer
…but there they lay, sprawled across the field, craved far more by the vultures than by wives.
Homer
