More quotes by Homer
I've gone back in time to when dinosaurs weren't just confined to zoos.
Homer
There is satiety in all things, in sleep, and love-making, in the loveliness of singing and the innocent dance.
Homer
The best things beyond their measure cloy.
Homer

Homer
See how God ever like with like doth pair, And still the worthless doth the worthless lead!
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
A sympathetic friend can be quite as dear as a brother.
Homer

The windy satisfaction of the tongue.
Homer
Bad herdsmen waste the flocks which thou hast left behind.

I live an idle burden to the ground.
Homer
It is not strength, but art, obtains the prize, And to be swift is less than to be wise.
Homer
Who ne'er knew salt, or heard the billows roar.
Homer
This is the way I've always thought it should be. We've always blamed ourselves, but I guess we know what cylinder wasn't firing!
Homer
