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

“Be still my heart; thou hast known worse than this.”

“Come, Friend, you too must die. Why moan about it so?Even Patroclus died, a far, far better man than you.And look, you see how handsome and powerful I am?The son of a great man, the mother who gave me life--A deathless goddess. But even for me, I tell you,Death and the strong force of fate are waiting.There will come a dawn or sunset or high noonWhen a man will take my life in battle too--flinging a spear perhapsOr whipping a deadly arrow off his bow.”

“Tell me, O muse, of travellers far and wide”

“...he'll never lie - the man is far too wise.”

“…but there they lay, sprawled across the field, craved far more by the vultures than by wives.”

“A man who has been through bitter experiences and travelled far enjoys even his sufferings after a time”
