More quotes by Horace
You will live wisely if you are happy in your lot.
Horace
Better one thorn pluck'd out than all remain.
Horace

Horace
He's arm'd without that's innocent within Be this thy Screen, and this thy Wall of Brass.
Horace
Poets wish to profit or to please.
Horace
The muse does not allow the praise-de-serving here to die: she enthrones him in the heavens.
Horace
Superfluous words simply spill out when the mind is already full.
Horace
What with your friend you nobly share, At least you rescue from your heir.
Horace

Horace
It is hard! But what can not be removed, becomes lighter through patience.
Horace
He who sings the praises of his boyhood's days.

Horace
O citizens, first acquire wealth you can practice virtue afterward.
Horace
The horse would plough, the ox would drive the car. No do the work you know, and tarry where you are.
Horace
Humble things become the humble.
Horace
A person will gain everyone's approval if he mixes the pleasant with the useful.
Horace
When a man is just and firm in his purpose, The citizens burning to approve a wrong Or the frowning looks of a tyrant Do not shake his fixed mind, nor the Southwind. Wild lord of the uneasy Adriatic, Nor the thunder in the mighty hand of Jove: Should the heavens crack and tumble down, As the ruins crushed him he would not fear.
Horace
