More quotes by Horace
Those that are little, little things suit.
Horace
I have reared a memorial more enduring than brass, and loftier than the regal structure of the pyramids, which neither the corroding shower nor the powerless north wind can destroy no, not even unending years nor the flight of time itself. I shall not entirely die. The greater part of me shall escape oblivion.
Horace
The good refrain from sin from the pure love of virtue.
Horace
A host is like a general: calamities often reveal his genius.
Horace
Where there are many beauties in a poem I shall not cavil at a few faults proceeding either from negligence or from the imperfection of our nature.
Horace
Cease to ask what the morrow will bring forth, and set down as gain each day that fortune grants.
Horace

Horace
To have a great man for an intimate friend seems pleasant to those who have never tried it those who have, fear it. [Lat., Dulcis inexpertis cultura potentis amici Expertus metuit.]

Horace
The more a man denies himself, the more he shall receive from heaven. Naked, I seek the camp of those who covet nothing. [Lat., Quanto quisque sibi plura negaverit, A dis plura feret. Nil cupientium Nudus castra peto.]
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
The mountains are in labour, the birth will be an absurd little mouse.
Horace
Frugality is one thing, avarice another.
Horace
He has half the deed done who has made a beginning.
Horace
No man is born without faults.
Horace
People hiss at me, but I applaud myself in my own house, and at the same time contemplate the money in my chest.
Horace
As riches grow, care follows, and a thirst For more and more.
Horace
Teaching brings out innate powers, and proper training braces the intellect.
Horace
When a man is pleased with the lot of others, he is dissatisfied with his own, as a matter of course.
Horace
Who then is free? The wise man who can govern himself.
Horace
