Hercules Tells

Famous quotes containing the words hercules and/or tells:

“I was with Hercules and Cadmus once,
When in a wood of Crete they bayed the bear
With hounds of Sparta: never did I hear
Such gallant chiding; for besides the groves,
The skies, the fountains, every region near
Seemed all one mutual cry. I never heard
So musical a discord, such sweet thunder.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“These examples, though foreign to us, are not strange, if we consider, as our experience often tells us, how custom dulls the senses.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
