Ah how shameless – the way these mortals blame the gods. From us alone they say come all their miseries yes but they themselves with their own reckless ways compound their pains beyond their proper share.
Homer
Without question it may be said of Vancouver that her position, geographically, is Imperial to a degree, that her possibilities are enormous, and that with but a feeble stretch of the imagination those possibilities might wisely be deemed certainties.
Homer
Men are so quick to blame the gods: they say that we devise their misery. But they themselves- in their depravity- design grief greater than the griefs that fate assigns.
Homer
Too dear I prized a fair enchanting face: beauty unchaste is beauty in disgrace.
Homer
It never was our guise to slight the poor, or aught humane despise.
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
Whoever among men who walk the Earth has seen these Mysteries is blessed, but whoever in uninitiated and has not received his share of the rite, he will not have the same lot as the others, once he is dead and dwells in the mould where the sun goes down.
Homer
Don't mess with the dead, boy, they have eerie powers.
Homer
The chance of war Is equal, and the slayer oft is slain.
Homer
Old people don't need companionship. They need to be isolated and studied so it can be determined what nutrients they have that might be extracted for our personal use.
Homer
