Homer on Fame

← All quotes by Homer

5 quotes

But sure the eye of time beholds no name,
So blest as thine in all the rolls of fame.

Earth sounds my wisdom, and high heaven my fame.

The life, which others pay, let us bestow,
And give to fame what we to nature owe.

Short is my date, but deathless my renown.

The rest were vulgar deaths unknown to fame.
