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
Wise were the kings who never chose a friend till with full cups they had unmasked his soul, and seen the bottom of his deepest thoughts.
Horace
Image
A well-prepared mind hopes in adversity and fears in prosperity. [Lat., Sperat infestis, metuit secundis Alteram sortem, bene preparatum Pectus.]
Horace
Image
He that finds out he's changed his lot for worse, Let him betimes the untoward choice reverse: For still, when all is said, the rule stands fast, That each man's shoe be made on his own last.
Horace

A good resolve will make any port.

A cup concealed in the dress is rarely honestly carried.
Horace
Image
When putting words together is good to do it with nicety and caution, your elegance and talent will be evident if by putting ordinary words together you create a new voice.
Horace
Image
Multa ferunt anni venientes commoda secum, Multa recedentes adimiunt. (The years, as they come, bring many agreeable things with them as they go, they take many away.)
Horace
Image
Misfortunes, untoward events, lay open, disclose the skill of a general, while success conceals his weakness, his weak points.
Horace
Image
Naked I seek the camp of those who desire nothing.
Horace
Image
What we hear strikes the mind with less force than what we see.
Horace
Image
The snow has at last melted, the fields regain their herbage, and the trees their leaves.
Horace
Image
The man is either mad or his is making verses. [Lat., Aut insanit homo, aut versus facit.]
Horace
Image
For, once begun, Your task is easy half the work is done.
Horace
Image
A leech that will not quit the skin until sated with blood.
Horace
Image
Rule your mind or it will rule you.
Horace
Image
Our years Glide silently away. No tears, No loving orisons repair The wrinkled cheek, the whitening hair That drop forgotten to the tomb.
Horace
Image
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
Image
In times of stress, be bold and valiant.
Horace
