More quotes by Horace
Boy, I loathe Persian luxury.
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
Having no business of his own to attend to, he busies himself with the affairs of others.
Horace
He can afford to be a fool.
Horace
Enjoy the present day, trust the least possible to the future.
Horace
A greater liar than the Parthians.
Horace
There is nothing hard inside the olive nothing hard outside the nut.
Horace

Horace
Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work.
Horace
Help a man against his will and you do the same as murder him.
Horace

Horace
Something is always wanting to incomplete fortune. [Lat., Curtae nescio quid semper abest rei.]
Horace
While we're talking, time will have meanly run on... pick today's fruits, not relying on the future in the slightest.
Horace
Who guides below, and rules above, The great disposer, and the mighty king Than He none greater, next Him none, That can be, is, or was.
Horace
The mob may hiss me, but I congratulate myself while I contemplate my treasures in their hoard.
Horace
Whatever you want to teach, be brief.
Horace
I have lived: tomorrow the Father may fill the sky with black clouds or with cloudless sunshine.
Horace
Who is a good man? He who keeps the decrees of the fathers, and both human and divine laws. [Lat., Vir bonus est quis? Qui consulta patrum, qui leges juraque servat.]
Horace
