Samuel Butler

The death of Hector.

Achilles son of Peleus

"we must judge men not so much by what they do, as by what they make us feel that they have it in them to do. If a man has done enough either in painting, music or the affairs of life, to make me feel that I might trust him in an emergency he has done enough

Let us be quick to heal, for the hearts of the brave heal quickly

Even cowards gain courage from companionship

All things pall after a while—sleep, love, sweet song, and stately dance

evil-hearted Paris, fair to see but woman-mad and false of tongue

but no man can do more than in him lies, no matter how willing he may be.

your rebuke has stung me to the heart

but with none of these was I ever so much enamoured as I now am with you."
