One who journeying Along a way he knows not, having crossed A place of drear extent, before him sees A river rushing swiftly toward the deep, And all its tossing current white with foam, And stops and turns, and measures back his way.
Homer

More quotes by Homer
See now, how men lay blame upon us gods for what is after all nothing but their own folly.
Homer
Modesty is of no use to a beggar.
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
No trust is to be placed in women.
Homer
I live an idle burden to the ground.
Homer
We all scribble poetry.
Homer
Praise me not too much, Nor blame me, for thou speakest to the Greeks Who know me.
Homer
Shoulder-to-shoulder, swing to the work, we must - just two as we are - if we hope to make some headway. The worst cowards, banded together, have their power, but you and I have got the skill to fight their best.
Homer
Bear patiently, my heart, for you have suffered heavier things.
Homer
I'm a rageaholic. I just can't live without rageahol.
Homer
In saffron-colored mantle from the tides Of Oceans rose the Morning to bright light TO gods and men.
Homer
And here I am using my own lungs like a sucker.
Homer
A councilor ought not to sleep the whole night through, a man to whom the populace is entrusted, and who has many responsibilities.
Homer
Thou shalt not horn in on thy husbands racket
Homer
It's disgraceful how these humans blame the gods. They say their tribulations come from us, when they themselves, through their own foolishness, bring hardships which are not decreed by Fate.
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
Whatever day Makes man a slave, takes half his worth away.
Homer
I've gone back in time to when dinosaurs weren't just confined to zoos.
Homer
O Friends, be men, and let your hearts be strong And let no warrior in the heat of fight, Do what may bring him shame in others' eyes
Homer
He lives not long who battles with the immortals, nor do his children prattle about his knees when he has come back from battle and the dread fray.
Homer
