More quotes by Homer
Whatever day Makes man a slave, takes half his worth away.
Homer
I, for one, know of no sweeter sight for a man's eyes than his own country.
Homer
All things are in the hand of heaven, and Folly, eldest of Jove's daughters, shuts men's eyes to their destruction. She walks delicately, not on the solid earth, but hovers over the heads of men to make them stumble or to ensnare them.
Homer
In every sorrowing soul I pour'd delight, And poverty stood smiling in my sight.
Homer

Homer

Homer

Homer
The wine urges me on, the bewitching wine, which sets even a wise man to singing and to laughing gently and rouses him up to dance and brings forth words which were better unspoken.
Homer
[But] age, the common enemy of mankind, has laid his hand upon you would that it had fallen upon some other, and that you were still young.
Homer
No season now for calm, familiar talk.
Homer
When I was seventeen I drank some very good beer I drank some very good beer I purchased With a fake ID My name was Brian McGee I stayed up listening to Queen When I was seventeen
Homer
…but there they lay, sprawled across the field, craved far more by the vultures than by wives.
Homer
Proud is the spirit of Zeus-fostered kings - their honor comes from Zeus, and Zeus, god of council, loves them.
Homer
Praise me not too much, Nor blame me, for thou speakest to the Greeks Who know me.
Homer
She threw into the wine which they were drinking a drug which takes away grief and passion and brings forgetfulness of all ills
Homer
