Horace quote: "Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work."
Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work. Horace
The aim of the poet is to inform or delight, or to combine together, in what he says, both pleasure and applicability to life.

Fiction invented in order to please should remain close to reality. Horace

Horace quote: "Life is largely a matter of expectation."
Life is largely a matter of expectation. Horace
It is not the rich man you should properly call happy, but him who knows how to use with wisdom the blessings of the gods, to endure hard poverty, and who fears dishonor worse than death, and is not afraid to die for cherished friends or fatherland. Horace
Not him with great possessions should you in truth call blest; with better right does he claim the name of happy man who realizes how to make use of the gods' gifts wisely, is skilled to meet harsh poverty and endure, as one who dreads dishonor far more than death; a man like that for friends beloved, or for his country fears not to perish. Horace
Horace quote: "Always keep your composure. You can't score from the penalty..."
Always keep your composure. You can't score from the penalty box; and to win, you have to score. Horace
Sad people dislike the happy, and the happy the sad; the quick thinking the sedate, and the careless the busy and industrious. Horace
