To drink away sorrow.
Horace
I have lived: tomorrow the Father may fill the sky with black clouds or with cloudless sunshine.
Horace
Joy, grief, desire or fear, whate'er the name The passion bears, its influence is the same Where things exceed your hope or fall below, You stare, look blank, grow numb from top to toe.

Little folks become their little fate.
Horace

Horace
The power of daring anything their fancy suggest, as always been conceded to the painter and the poet.
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
A good and faithful judge ever prefers the honorable to the expedient.
Horace
You are judged of by what you possess.
Horace
I hate the irreverent rabble and keep them far from me.
Horace
The body loaded by the excess of yesterday, depresses the mind also, and fixes to the ground this particle of divine breath. [Lat., Quin corpus onustum Hesternis vitiis, animum quoque praegravat una Atque affigit humo divinae particulam aurae.]
Horace
