You who write, choose a subject suited to your abilities and think long and hard on what your powers are equal to and what they are unable to perform  (Horace Quotes) How does it happen, maecenas, that no one is content with that lot of which he has chosen or which chance has thrown his way, but praises those who follow a different course?  (Horace Quotes) We are more speedily and fatally corrupted by domestic examples of vice, and particularly when they are impressed on our minds as from authority  (Horace Quotes) It is but a poor establishment where there are not many superfluous things which the owner knows not of, and which go to the thieves  (Horace Quotes) We hate virtue when it is safe; when removed from our sight we diligently seek it  (Horace Quotes) As with a little girl playing with her nurse, the toy which she eagerly sought she soon tires of and discards  (Horace Quotes) As a neighboring funeral terrifies sick misers, and fear obliges them to have some regard for themselves; so, the disgrace of others will often deter tender minds from vice  (Horace Quotes) The cautious wolf fears the pit, the hawk regards with suspicion the snare laid for her, and the fish the hook in its concealment  (Horace Quotes) One deviates to the right, another to the left; the error is the same with all, but it deceives them in different ways  (Horace Quotes) Happy the man who, removed from all cares of business, after the manner of his forefathers cultivates with his own team his paternal acres, freed from all thought of usury  (Horace Quotes) Not even piety will stay wrinkles, nor the encroachments of age, nor the advance of death, which cannot be resisted  (Horace Quotes) Money, make money; by honest means if you can; if not, by any means make money  (Horace Quotes) Justice, though moving with tardy pace, has seldom failed to overtake the wicked in their flight  (Horace Quotes) They change their sky, not their mind, who cross the sea. A busy idleness possesses us: we seek a happy life, with ships and carriages: The object of our search is present with us  (Horace Quotes) To the inexperienced it is a pleasant thing to court the favour of the great; an experienced man fears it  (Horace Quotes) Pale death enters with impartial step the cottages of the poor and the palaces of the rich  (Horace Quotes) What does drunkenness accomplish? It discloses secrets, it ratifies hopes, and urges even the unarmed to battle  (Horace Quotes) There is as much love between you and me as between the wolf and the lamb  (Horace Quotes) Avoid greatness; in a cottage there may be more real happiness than kings or their favorites enjoy  (Horace Quotes) Enjoy thankfully any happy hour heaven may send you, nor think that your delights will keep till another year  (Horace Quotes) Who is a good man? He who keeps the decrees of the fathers, and both human and divine laws  (Horace Quotes) In truth it is best to learn wisdom, and abandoning all nonsense, to leave it to boys to enjoy their season of play and mirth  (Horace Quotes) In adversity be spirited and firm, and with equal prudence lessen your sail when filled with a too fortunate gale of prosperity  (Horace Quotes) O imitators, a servile race, how often have your attacks roused my bile and often my laughter!  (Horace Quotes) There is a medium in all things. There are certain limits beyond, or within which, that which is right cannot exist  (Horace Quotes) The mind that is cheerful in its present state, will be averse to all solicitude as to the future, and will meet the bitter occurrences of life with a placid smile  (Horace Quotes) The trainer trains the docile horse to turn, with his sensitive neck, whichever way the rider indicates  (Horace Quotes) The lofty pine is most easily brought low by the force of the wind, and the higher the tower the greater the fall thereof  (Horace Quotes) In form so delicate, so soft his skin, so fair in feature, and so smooth his chin, quite to unman him nothing wants but this; put him in coats, and he’s a very miss  (Horace Quotes) If the crow had been satisfied to eat his prey in silence, he would have had more meat and less quarreling and envy  (Horace Quotes)
