Horace
Whoever cultivates the golden mean avoids both the poverty of a hovel and the envy of a palace.
Horace
The bowl dispels corroding cares.
Horace
I abhor the profane rabble and keep them at a distance.
Horace
In the capacious urn of death, every name is shaken. [Lat., Omne capax movet urna nomen.]

Horace
In the same [hospitable] manner that a Calabrian would press you to eat his pears.
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
The question is yet before the court.
Horace
You may suppress natural propensities by force, but they will be certain to re-appear.
Horace
