Quotes

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
He gets every vote who combines the useful with the pleasant, and who, at the same time he pleases the reader, also instructs him. Horace
If a man's fortune does not fit him, it is like the shoe in the story; if too large it trips him up, if too small it pinches him. Horace
Horace quote: "Let him live under the open sky, and dangerously."
Let him live under the open sky, and dangerously. Horace
Horace quote: "Capture your reader, let him not depart, from dull beginnings..."
