Quotes by Homer
It is equally offensive to speed a guest who would like to stay and to detain one who is anxious to leave.
It was built against the will of the immortal gods, and so it did not last for long.
Miserable mortals who, like leaves, at one moment flame with life, eating the produce of the land, and at another moment weakly perish.
Of men who have a sense of honor, more come through alive than are slain, but from those who flee comes neither glory nor any help.
