To have begun is half the job be bold and be sensible.
Horace
Image
The short span of life forbids us to take on far-reaching hopes.
Horace
Image
The trainer trains the docile horse to turn, with his sensitive neck, whichever way the rider indicates.
Horace
Image
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

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
Image
A good scare is worth more than good advice.
Horace

Nature is harmony in discord.
Horace
Image
He's arm'd without that's innocent within Be this thy Screen, and this thy Wall of Brass.
Horace
Image
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
Image
The more we deny ourselves, the more the gods supply our wants. [Lat., Quanto quisque sibi plura negaverit, A dis plura feret.]
Horace
Image
At Rome I love Tibur then, like a weathercock, at Tibur Rome.
Horace
Image
It is good to labor it is also good to rest from labor.
Horace

Usually the modest person passes for someone reserved, the silent for a sullen person
