You will certainly not be able to take the lead in all things yourself, for to one man a god has given deeds of war, and to another the dance, to another lyre and song, and in another wide-sounding Zeus puts a good mind.
Homer

More quotes by 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
Steel itself oft lures a man to fight.
Homer
Lay ye down the golden chain From Heaven, and pull at its inferior links Both Goddesses and Gods.
Homer
It is equally bad when one speeds on the guest unwilling to go, and when he holds back one who is hastening. Rather one should befriend the guest who is there, but speed him when he wishes.
Homer
I've finally tapped into that spirit of self-destruction that makes rock-n-roll the king of music!
Homer
All men owe honor to the poets - honor and awe for they are dearest to the Muse who puts upon their lips the ways of life.
Homer
Go on with a spirit that fears nothing.
Homer
But you can't stop at one, you wanna drink another woman!
Homer
Two urns on Jove's high throne have ever stood, the source of evil one, and one of good from thence the cup of mortal man he fills, blessings to these, to those distributes ills to most he mingles both.
Homer
Better to live or die, once and for all, than die by inches.
Homer
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
Yet while my Hector still survives, I see My father, mother, brethren, all in thee.
Homer
It is not good to have a rule of many.
Homer
For afterwards a man finds pleasure in his pains, when he has suffered long and wandered long. So I will tell you what you ask and seek to know.
Homer
A gun is not a weapon! It's a tool, like a butcher's knife, or a harpoon, or an alligator.
Homer
I, for one, know of no sweeter sight for a man's eyes than his own country.
Homer
Ah, good ol’ trustworthy beer. My love for you will never die.
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
And Heaven, that every virtue bears in mind, E'en to the ashes of the just is kind.
Homer
Will cast the spear and leave the rest to Jove.
Homer
