A decent boldness ever meets with friends.
Homer
A sympathetic friend can be quite as dear as a brother.
Homer
And what he greatly thought, he nobly dared.
Homer
At last is Hector stretch'd upon the plain, Who fear'd no vengeance for Patroclus slain: Then, Prince! You should have fear'd, what now you feel; Achilles absent was Achilles still: Yet a short space the great avenger stayed, Then low in dust thy strength and glory laid.
Homer
Be still my heart; thou hast known worse than this.
Homer
But curb thou the high spirit in thy breast, for gentle ways are best, and keep aloof from sharp contentions.
Homer
Even were sleep is concerned, too much is a bad thing.
Homer
For rarely are sons similar to their fathers: most are worse, and a few are better than their fathers.
Homer
Hateful to me as are the gates of hell, Is he who, hiding one thing in his heart, Utters another.
Homer
Hateful to me as the gates of Hades is that man who hides one thing in his heart and speaks another.
Homer
How vain, without the merit, is the name.
Homer
It is not good to have a rule of many.
Homer
Light is the task where many share the toil.
Homer
The difficulty is not so great to die for a friend, as to find a friend worth dying for.
Homer
There is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep. Homer (~700 BC), The Odyssey
Homer
There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends.
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
Without a sign, his sword the brave man draws, and asks no omen, but his country's cause.
Homer
Yet, taught by time, my heart has learned to glow for other's good, and melt at other's woe.
