Homer | A decent boldness ever meets with friends. |
A sympathetic friend can be quite as dear as a brother. | |
And what he greatly thought, he nobly dared. | |
Be still my heart; thou hast known worse than this. | |
But curb thou the high spirit in thy breast, for gentle ways are best, and keep aloof from sharp contentions. | |
Even were sleep is concerned, too much is a bad thing. | |
For rarely are sons similar to their fathers: most are worse, and a few are better than their fathers. | |
Hateful to me as are the gates of hell, Is he who, hiding one thing in his heart, Utters another. | |
Hateful to me as the gates of Hades is that man who hides one thing in his heart and speaks another. | |
How vain, without the merit, is the name. | |
Hunger is insolent, and will be fed. | |
In youth and beauty, wisdom is but rare! | |
It is not good to have a rule of many. | |
Light is the task where many share the toil. | |
Nothing shall I, while sane, compare with a friend. | |
The charity that is a trifle to us can be precious to others. | |
The difficulty is not so great to die for a friend, as to find a friend worth dying for. | |
There is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep. | |
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. | |
To have a great man for an intimate friend seems pleasant to those who have never tried it; those who have, fear it. | |
True friends appear less moved than counterfeit. | |
Two friends, two bodies with one soul inspired. | |
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. | |
Wise to resolve, and patient to perform. | |
Without a sign, his sword the brave man draws, and asks no omen, but his country's cause. | |
Words empty as the wind are best left unsaid. | |
Yet, taught by time, my heart has learned to glow for other's good, and melt at other's woe. |
