Boy, those Germans have a word for everything!
Homer
Image
It is better to watch people do stuff than to do stuff.
Homer

Homer

It is equally wrong to speed a guest who does not want to go, and to keep one back who is eager. You ought to make welcome the present guest, and send forth the one who wishes to go.
Homer
Image
I have no interest at all in food and drink, but only in slaughter and blood and the agonized groans of mangled men
Homer
Image
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
Image
I only hope those rumors I hear about what goes on in prison are greatly exaggerated.
Homer
Image
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
Image
In every sorrowing soul I pour'd delight, And poverty stood smiling in my sight.
Homer
