Horace

Horace

Horace
I have completed a monument more lasting than brass.
Horace
I have lived: tomorrow the Father may fill the sky with black clouds or with cloudless sunshine.
Horace
You may suppress natural propensities by force, but they will be certain to re-appear.
Horace
The man who is just and resolute will not be moved from his settled purpose, either by the misdirected rage of his fellow citizens, or by the threats of an imperious tryant.
Horace
He has half the deed done who has made a beginning.
Horace
