More quotes by Horace
The mountains are in labour, the birth will be an absurd little mouse.
Horace
Who then is free? The one who wisely is lord of themselves, who neither poverty, death or captivity terrify, who is strong to resist his appetites and shun honors, and is complete in themselves smooth and round like a globe
Horace
Cease to ask what the morrow will bring forth, and set down as gain each day that fortune grants.
Horace

Horace
Anger is a momentary madness, so control your passion or it will control you.
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

Horace
What do sad complaints avail if the offense is not cut down by punishment.
Horace
I have to submit to much in order to pacify the touchy tribe of poets.
Horace
Splendidly mendacious. [Lat., Splendide mendax.]
Horace
Capture your reader, let him not depart, from dull beginnings that refuse to start
Horace
It is difficult to administer properly what belongs to all in common.
Horace
Fiction intended to please, should resemble truth as much as possible.
Horace
Whatever things injure your eye you are anxious to remove but things which affect your mind you defer.
Horace
