Image
He who has made it a practice to lie and deceive his father, will be the most daring in deceiving others.
Horace
Image
Lighten grief with hopes of a brighter morrow Temper joy, in fear of a change of fortune.
Horace
Image
It is hard! But what can not be removed, becomes lighter through patience.
Horace
Image
The body, enervated by the excesses of the preceding day, weighs down and prostates the mind also.
Horace
Image
Blind self-love, vanity, lifting aloft her empty head, and indiscretion, prodigal of secrets more transparent than glass, follow close behind.
Horace
Image
Think of the wonders uncorked by wine! It opens secrets, gives heart to our hopes, pushes the cowardly into battle, lifts the load from anxious minds, and evokes talents. Thanks to the bottle's prompting no one is lost for words, no one who's cramped by poverty fails to find release.
Horace
Image
God has joined the innocent with the guilty.
Horace
Image
Of what use are laws, inoperative through public immortality? [Lat., Quid leges sine moribus Vanae proficiunt?]
Horace
Image
O sweet solace of labors. [Lat., O laborum Dulce lenimen.]
Horace
Image
Too indolent to bear the toil of writing I mean of writing well I say nothing about quantity. [Lat., Piger scribendi ferre laborem Scribendi recte, nam ut multum nil moror.]
Horace
Image
There is a middle ground in things.
Horace
Image
Anger is momentary madness, so control your passion or it will control you.
Horace
Image
Heir follows heir, as wave succeeds to wave.
Horace
Image
He who postpones the hour of living as he ought, is like the rustic who waits for the river to pass along (before he crosses) but it glides on and will glide forever. [Lat., Vivendi recte qui prorogat horam Rusticus expectat dum defluat amnis at ille Labitur et labetur in omne volubilis aevum.]
Horace
Image
Dare to begin! He who postpones living rightly is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses.
Horace
Image
Remember to keep the mind calm in difficult moments.
Horace
Image
The consummate pleasure (in eating) is not in the costly flavour, but in yourself. Do you seek for sauce for sweating?
Horace
Image
Change generally pleases the rich. [Lat., Plerumque gratae divitibus vices.]
Horace
Image
Happy the man, and happy he alone, he who can call today his own: he who, secure within, can say, tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today. Be fair or foul or rain or shine, the joys I have possessed, in spite of fate, are mine. Not Heaven itself upon the past has power, but what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.
Horace
Image
There is nothing assured to mortals.
