Homer

“Man's life is short enough as it is; if a man is unkind in himself, and has unkind thoughts in his heart, everyone prays that he will suffer in torment as long as he lives, and when he is dead everyone laughs at him. But if a man is generous in himself, with generous thoughts in his heart, his guest-friends spread his fame far and wide, to men everywhere, and there are many to call him noble.”
