Horace Quotes
It is a sweet and seemly thing to die for one's country. It is courage, courage, courage, that raises the blood of life to crimson splendor. Live bravely and present a brave front to adversity. It is no great art to say something briefly when, like Tacitus, one has something to say; when one has nothing to say, however, and none the less writes a whole book and makes truth into a liar - that I call an achievement. It is of no consequence of what parents a man is born, as long as he be a man of merit. It is the false shame of fools to try to conceal wounds that have not healed. It is when I struggle to be brief that I become obscure. It is your business when the wall next door catches fire. It is your concern when your neighbor's wall is on fire. It's a good thing to be foolishly gay once in a while. Knowledge without education is but armed injustice. Labor diligently to increase your property. Lawyers are men who hire out their words and anger. Leave the rest to the gods. Let your literary compositions be kept from the public eye for nine years at least. Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work. Life is largely a matter of expectation. Make a good use of the present. Mix a little foolishness with your serious plans. It is lovely to be silly at the right moment. Money is a handmaiden, if thou knowest how to use it; a mistress, if thou knowest not. Mountains will go into labour, and a silly little mouse will be born.
