Horace

It's a good thing to be foolishly gay once in a while.

Subdue your passion or it will subdue you.

Why do you hasten to remove anything which hurts your eye, while if something affects your soul you postpone the cure until next year?

A portion of mankind take pride in their vices and pursue their purpose; many more waver between doing what is right and complying with what is wrong.

Remember when life's path is steep to keep your mind even.

Life is largely a matter of expectation.

We rarely find anyone who can say he has lived a happy life, and who, content with his life, can retire from the world like a satisfied guest.

The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.

He who postpones the hour of living is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses.

Why harass with eternal purposes a mind to weak to grasp them?

It is courage, courage, courage, that raises the blood of life to crimson splendor. Live bravely and present a brave front to adversity.

Begin, be bold and venture to be wise.
