Nay if even in the house of Hades the dead forget their dead, yet will I even there be mindful of my dear comrade.

But listen to me first and swear an oath to use all your eloquence and strength to look after me and protect me.

It is not strength, but art, obtains the prize, And to be swift is less than to be wise.

And for yourself, may the gods grant you your heart's desire, a husband and a home, and the blessing of a harmonious life. For nothing is greater or finer than this, when a man and woman live together with one hear and mind, bringing joy to their friends and grief to their foes.

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

The persuasion of a friend is a strong thing.

I would rather be tied to the soil as a serf... than be king of all these dead and destroyed.
