Wherein is the use of getting rid of one thorn out of many?
Horace
It is sweet and honorable to die for your country.
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
Happy the man, and happy he alone, he who can call today his own: he who, secure within, can say, tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today. Be fair or foul or rain or shine, the joys I have possessed, in spite of fate, are mine. Not Heaven itself upon the past has power, but what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.
Horace
Once a word has been allowed to escape, it cannot be recalled.
Horace

Horace
Happy and thrice happy are those who enjoy an uninterrupted union, and whose love, unbroken by any sour complaints, shall not dissolve until the last day of their existence.

Rule your mind or it will rule you.
Horace
Something is always wanting to incomplete fortune. [Lat., Curtae nescio quid semper abest rei.]

Horace
It is sweet and right to die for the homeland, but it is sweeter to live for the homeland, and the sweetest to drink for it. Therefore, let us drink to the health of the homeland.
Horace
Now drown care in wine. [Lat., Nunc vino pellite curas.]
Horace
The lofty pine is oftenest shaken by the winds High towers fall with a heavier crash And the lightning strikes the highest mountain.
Horace
He has half the deed done who has made a beginning.
Horace
The mountains are in labour, the birth will be an absurd little mouse.
Horace
Pale death with an impartial foot knocks at the hovels of the poor and the palaces of king.
Horace
All singers have this fault: if asked to sing among friends they are never so inclined if unasked, they never leave off.
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
