More quotes by Horace
Once sent out, a word takes wings beyond recall.
Horace
The poets aim is either to profit or to please, or to blend in one the delightful and the useful. Whatever the lesson you would convey, be brief, that your hearers may catch quickly what is said and faithfully retain it. Every superfluous word is spilled from the too-full memory.
Horace
I have raised for myself a monument more durable than brass.
Horace
Punishment closely follows guilt as its companion.
Horace
Let us seize, friends, our opportunity from the day as it passes.
Horace
He who has enough for his wants should desire nothing more.
Horace
We are free to yield to truth.
Horace
For example, the tiny ant, a creature of great industry, drags with its mouth whatever it can, and adds it to the heap which she is piling up, not unaware nor careless of the future.
Horace
All powerful money gives birth and beauty. [Lat., Et genus et formam regina pecunia donat.]
Horace
A stomach that is seldom empty despises common food. [Lat., Jejunus raro stomachus vulgaria temnit.]
Horace
Naked I seek the camp of those who desire nothing.
Horace

Horace
Small things become small folks.
Horace
Those who say nothing about their poverty will obtain more than those who turn beggars.
Horace
Virtue consists in fleeing vice.
Horace

Horace
All singers have this fault: if asked to sing among friends they are never so inclined if unasked, they never leave off.
Horace
Choose a subject equal to your abilities think carefully what your shoulders may refuse, and what they are capable of bearing.
Horace
I have lived: tomorrow the Father may fill the sky with black clouds or with cloudless sunshine.
Horace
If you drive nature out with a pitchfork, she will soon find a way back.
Horace
