A pauper in the midst of wealth.
Horace
What we learn only through the ears makes less impression upon our minds than what is presented to the trustworthy eye.
Horace
The mountains are in labour, the birth will be an absurd little mouse.
Horace
Do you count your birthdays with gratitude?
Horace
Even-handed fate Hath but one law for small and great: That ample urn holds all men's names.
Horace

Horace

Horace
The things, that are repeated again and again, are pleasant.
Horace
He can afford to be a fool.
Horace
You traverse the world in search of happiness which is within the reach of every man. A contented mind confers it on all.
Horace
In truth it is best to learn wisdom, and abandoning all nonsense, to leave it to boys to enjoy their season of play and mirth.
Horace
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
A word, once sent abroad, flies irrevocably.
Horace
I am frightened at seeing all the footprints directed towards thy den, and none returning.
Horace
With you I should love to live, with you be ready to die.
Horace
Virtue, dear friend, needs no defense, The surest guard is innocence: None knew, till guilt created fear, What darts or poisoned arrows were
Horace
And Tragedy should blush as much to stoop To the low mimic follies of a farce, As a grave matron would to dance with girls.
Horace
Lighten grief with hopes of a brighter morrow Temper joy, in fear of a change of fortune.
Horace
He has half the deed done who has made a beginning.
Horace
Man learns more readily and remembers more willingly what excites his ridicule than what deserves esteem and respect.
Horace
