Homer
Image
Whoever obeys the gods, to him they particularly listen.
Homer
Image
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
Accept these grateful tears...For thee they flow, for thee... That ever felt another's woe.
Homer
Image
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
