More quotes by Horace
He who is always in a hurry to be wealthy and immersed in the study of augmenting his fortune has lost the arms of reason and deserted the post of virtue.
Horace
It is of no consequence of what parents a man is born, as long as he be a man of merit.
Horace
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
Let's put a limit to the scramble for money. ... Having got what you wanted, you ought to begin to bring that struggle to an end.
Horace
One gains universal applause who mingles the useful with the agreeable, at once delighting and instructing the reader.
Horace
The brave are born from the brave and good. In steers and in horses is to be found the excellence of their sire nor do savage eagles produce a peaceful dove.
Horace
No one is born without vices, and he is the best man who is encumbered with the least.
Horace
Blend a little folly with thy worldly plans: it is delightful to give loose on a proper occasion.
Horace
Don't just put it off and think about it!
Horace
There is nothing assured to mortals.
Horace
What we hear strikes the mind with less force than what we see.
Horace
The grammarians are arguing.
Horace
There is a measure in everything. There are fixed limits beyond which and short of which right cannot find a resting place.
Horace
Shun the inquisitive person, for he is also a talker. [Lat., Percunctatorem fugito, nam garrulus idem est.]
Horace
God can change the lowest to the highest, abase the proud, and raise the humble.
Horace
Who knows if the gods above will add tomorrow's span to this day's sum?
Horace
What does drunkenness not accomplish? It unlocks secrets, confirms our hopes, urges the indolent into battle, lifts the burden from anxious minds, teaches new arts.
Horace
You will live wisely if you are happy in your lot.
Horace
Be smart, drink your wine.
Horace
Who then is sane? He who is not a fool.
Horace
