More quotes by Homer
It is wrong to sorrow without ceasing.
Homer
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
You can't go wrong with cocktail weenies. They look as good as they taste. And they come in this delicious red sauce. It looks like ketchup, it tastes like ketchup, but brother, it ain't ketchup!
Homer
…but there they lay, sprawled across the field, craved far more by the vultures than by wives.
Homer
Everything flows and nothing stays.
Homer
Whenever a man is tired, wine is a great restorer of strength.
Homer
Whoever obeys the gods, to him they particularly listen.
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
It is no bad thing to be a king-to see one's house enriched and one's authority enhanced.
Homer
Two friends, two bodies with one soul inspired.
Homer
The Grecian ladies counted their age from their marriage, not their birth.
Homer
Steel itself oft lures a man to fight.
Homer
I should rather labor as another's serf, in the home of a man without fortune, one whose livelihood was meager, than rule over all the departed dead.
Homer
To heal divisions, to relieve the oppress'd, In virtue rich in blessing others, bless'd.
Homer
If you're gonna get mad at me every time I do something stupid, then I guess I'll just have to stop doing stupid things.
Homer
Thou wilt lament Hereafter, when the evil shall be done And shall admit no cure.
Homer
It is equally offensive to speed a guest who would like to stay and to detain one who is anxious to leave.
Homer
But you can't stop at one, you wanna drink another woman!
Homer
There is nothing worse for mortals than a wandering life.
Homer
Take thou thy arms and come with me, For we must quit ourselves like men, and strive To air our cause, although we be but two. Great is the strength of feeble arms combined, And we can combat even with the brave.
Homer
