Alcaeus Quotes


Not houses finely roofed or the stones of walls well builded, nay nor canals and dockyards make the city, but men able to use their opportunity.
Alcaeus

'Tis said that wrath is the last thing in a man to grow old.
Alcaeus

To be bowed by grief is folly; Naught is gained by melancholy; Better than the pain of thinking, Is to steep the sense in drinking.
Alcaeus

Wine is a peep-hole on a man.
Alcaeus
