More quotes by Homer
There is nothing worse for mortals than a wandering life.
Homer
youth is quick in feeling but weak in judgement.
Homer
Friend, many and many a dream is mere confusion a cobweb of no consequence at all. Two gates for ghostly dreams there are: One gateway of honest horn, and one of ivory. Issuing by the ivory gate are dreams of glimmering illusion, fantasies, but those that come through solid polished horn may be borne out, if mortals only know them.
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
Yet while my Hector still survives, I see My father, mother, brethren, all in thee.
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
No one can hurry me down to Hades before my time, but if a man's hour is come, be he brave or be he coward, there is no escape for him when he has once been born.
Homer
The persuasion of a friend is a strong thing.
Homer
Two friends, two bodies with one soul inspired.
Homer
Greetings, friends. Do you wish to look as happy as me? Well, you've got the power inside you right now. So use it and send one dollar to Happy Dude, 742 Evergreen Terrace, Springfield. Don't delay. Eternal happiness is just a dollar away.
Homer
Oall the creatures that creep and breathe on earth, there is none more wretched than man.
Homer
Short is my date, but deathless my renown.
Homer
There is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep.
Homer
[But] age, the common enemy of mankind, has laid his hand upon you would that it had fallen upon some other, and that you were still young.
Homer
Proud is the spirit of Zeus-fostered kings - their honor comes from Zeus, and Zeus, god of council, loves them.
Homer
Nobody gets into heaven without a glowstick.
Homer
The glorious gifts of the gods are not to be cast aside.
Homer
The Grecian ladies counted their age from their marriage, not their birth.
Homer
All things are in the hand of heaven, and Folly, eldest of Jove's daughters, shuts men's eyes to their destruction. She walks delicately, not on the solid earth, but hovers over the heads of men to make them stumble or to ensnare them.
Homer
A glorious death is his, who for his country falls.
Homer
