Horace

The brave are born from the brave and good. In steers and in horses is to be found the excellence of their sire nor do savage eagles produce a peaceful dove.
Horace
Luck cannot change birth.
Horace
Let's put a limit to the scramble for money. ... Having got what you wanted, you ought to begin to bring that struggle to an end.
