More quotes by Horace
Lighten grief with hopes of a brighter morrow Temper joy, in fear of a change of fortune.
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
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.
Horace
He who postpones the hour of living as he ought, is like the rustic who waits for the river to pass along (before he crosses) but it glides on and will glide forever. [Lat., Vivendi recte qui prorogat horam Rusticus expectat dum defluat amnis at ille Labitur et labetur in omne volubilis aevum.]
Horace
Decus et pretium recte petit experiens vir. The man who makes the attempt justly aims at honour and reward.
Horace
Day is pushed out by day, and each new moon hastens to its death. [Lat., Truditur dies die, Novaeque pergunt interire lunae.]
Horace
Whatever you teach, be brief what is quickly said, the mind readily receives and faithfully retains, everything superfluous runs over as from a full vessel.
Horace
An envious man grows lean at another's fatness.
Horace
Splendidly mendacious. [Lat., Splendide mendax.]
Horace
Let the fictitious sources of pleasure be as near as possible to the true.
Horace
We are deceived by the appearance of right.
Horace
Busy idleness urges us on. [Lat., Strenua nos exercet inertia.]
Horace
That man lives happy and in command of himself, who from day to day can say I have lived. Whether clouds obscure, or the sun illumines the following day, that which is past is beyond recall.
Horace
For, once begun, Your task is easy half the work is done.
Horace
High descent and meritorious deeds, unless united to wealth, are as useless as seaweed.
Horace
I wrap myself up in virtue. [Lat., Mea virtute me involvo.]
Horace
The populace may hiss me, but when I go home and think of my money, I applaud myself.
Horace
Be ever on your guard what you say of anybody and to whom.
Horace
It is but a poor establishment where there are not many superfluous things which the owner knows not of, and which go to the thieves.
Horace
Remember you must die whether you sit about moping all day long or whether on feast days you stretch out in a green field, happy with a bottle of Falernian from your innermost cellar.
Horace
