Horace

Horace

He that finds out he's changed his lot for worse, Let him betimes the untoward choice reverse: For still, when all is said, the rule stands fast, That each man's shoe be made on his own last.
Horace
Smooth out with wine the worries of a wrinkled brow.
Horace
Man is never watchful enough against dangers that threaten him every hour. [Lat., Quid quisque vitet nunquam homini satis Cautum est in horas.]

That destructive siren, sloth, is ever to be avoided.
Horace
The grammarians are arguing.
Horace
