More quotes by Horace
The bowl dispels corroding cares.
Horace
The accumulation of wealth is followed by an increase of care, and by an appetite for more.
Horace
Let it (what you have written) be kept back until the ninth year. [Lat., Nonumque prematur in annum.]
Horace
Our years Glide silently away. No tears, No loving orisons repair The wrinkled cheek, the whitening hair That drop forgotten to the tomb.
Horace
There is a fault common to all singers. When they're among friends and are asked to sing they don't want to, and when they're not asked to sing they never stop.
Horace
We are free to yield to truth.
Horace
Doctrina sed vim promovet insitam. Instruction enlarges the natural powers of the mind.
Horace
You may drive out nature with a pitchfork, yet she'll be constantly running back.
Horace
I have lived: tomorrow the Father may fill the sky with black clouds or with cloudless sunshine.
Horace
We are often deterred from crime by the disgrace of others.
Horace
Difficulties elicit talents that in more fortunate circumstances would lie dormant.
Horace
Damnosa quid non imminuit dies? What does not destructive time destroy?
Horace
In avoiding one vice fools rush into the opposite extreme.
Horace
There is a middle ground in things.
Horace
Even the worthy Homer sometimes nods.
Horace
Be this thy brazen bulwark, to keep a clear conscience, and never turn pale with guilt.
Horace
Everything, virtue, glory, honor, things human and divine, all are slaves to riches.
Horace
I teach that all men are mad.
Horace
He possesses dominion over himself, and is happy, who can every day say, I have lived. Tomorrow the heavenly father may either involve the world in dark clouds, or cheer it with clear sunshine, he will not, however, render ineffectual the things which have already taken place.
Horace
The more a man denies himself, the more he shall receive from heaven. Naked, I seek the camp of those who covet nothing. [Lat., Quanto quisque sibi plura negaverit, A dis plura feret. Nil cupientium Nudus castra peto.]
Horace
