More quotes by Homer
Because they're stupid, that's why. That's why everybody does everything.
Homer
Why have you come to me here, dear heart, with all these instructions? I promise you I will do everything just as you ask. But come closer. Let us give in to grief, however briefly, in each other's arms.
Homer
The single best augury is to fight for one's country.
Homer
Friend, many and many a dream is mere confusion a cobweb of no consequence at all. Two gates for ghostly dreams there are: One gateway of honest horn, and one of ivory. Issuing by the ivory gate are dreams of glimmering illusion, fantasies, but those that come through solid polished horn may be borne out, if mortals only know them.
Homer
Better to flee from death than feel its grip.
Homer
And Heaven, that every virtue bears in mind, E'en to the ashes of the just is kind.
Homer
I hate To tell again a tale once fully told.
Homer

Homer
I only hope those rumors I hear about what goes on in prison are greatly exaggerated.
Homer
Better to live or die, once and for all, than die by inches.
Homer
Guns aren't toys! They're for family protection, hunting dangerous or delicious animals, and keeping the King of England out of your face!
Homer
Light is the task where many share the toil.
Homer
A glorious death is his, who for his country falls.
Homer
Have patience, heart.
Homer
Even the bravest cannot fight beyond his power
Homer
There is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep.
Homer
By their own follies they perished, the fools.
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
