Horace
Great effort is required to arrest decay and restore vigor. One must exercise proper deliberation, plan carefully before making a move, and be alert in guarding against relapse following a renaissance. Horace
Guard himself as he may, every moment’s an ambush. Horace
Happy he who far from business, like the primitive are of mortals, cultivates with his own oxen the fields of his fathers, free from all anxieties of gain. Horace
Happy, thrice happy and more, are they whom an unbroken bond unites and whose love shall know no sundering quarrels so long as they shall live. Horace
Harmony in discord. Horace
He has not lived badly whose birth and death has been unnoticed by the world. Horace
He is not poor who has enough of things to use. If it is well with your belly, chest and feet, the wealth of kings can give you nothing more. Horace
He makes himself ridiculous who is for ever repeating the same mistake. Horace
He who is greedy is always in want. Horace
