Quote by Homer (800 BC-700 BC)

• If you are very valiant, it is a god, I think, who gave you this gift.

• Whoever obeys the gods, to him they particularly listen.

• It is equally offensive to speed a guest who would like to stay and to detain one who is anxious to leave.

• A councilor ought not to sleep the whole night through, a man to whom the populace is entrusted, and who has many responsibilities.

• Do thou restrain the haughty spirit in thy breast, for better far is gentle courtesy.

• He knew the things that were and the things that would be and the things that had been before.
