Horace
Horace | wisdom
A heart well prepared for adversity in bad times hopes, and in good times fears for a change in fortune.
Horace | truth
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.
Horace | travel
Strange – is it not? That of the myriads who Before us passed the door of Darkness through, Not one returns to tell us of the road Which to discover we must travel too.
Horace | sad
Sad people dislike the happy, and the happy the sad the quick thinking the sedate, and the careless the busy and industrious.
Horace | power
The power of daring anything their fancy suggest, as always been conceded to the painter and the poet.
