Horace

There is a measure in everything. There are fixed limits beyond which and short of which right cannot find a resting place.
Horace - Odes
Seize the day, put no trust in the morrow!
[Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero.]
Horace - Epistles
The covetous man is ever in want.

Faults are soon copied.
Horace - Epistles
He wins every hand who mingles profit with pleasure.
Horace - Odes
In adversity remember to keep an even mind.
Horace - Epistles
The years as they pass plunder us of one thing after another.
Horace - Epistles
To flee vice is the beginning of virtue, and to have got rid of folly is the beginning of wisdom.

Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents, which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant.
Horace - Odes
Many brave men lived before Agamemnon; but all are overwhelmed in eternal night, unwept, unknown, because they lack a sacred poet.

Mediocrity is not allowed to poets, either by the gods or man.

With silence favor me.
(Favete Linguis)

The appearance of right oft leads us wrong.

Of writing well the source and fountainhead is wise thinking.

Whatever advice you give, be brief.
Horace - Epistles
Think to yourself that every day is your last; the hour to which you do not look forward will come as a welcome surprise.
Horace - Satires
We rarely find anyone who can say he has lived a happy life, and who, content with his life, can retire from the world like a satisfied guest.
Horace - Epistles
He who has begun has half done. Dare to be wise; begin!
Horace - Odes
Force without wisdom falls of its own weight.

I will not add another word.
Horace - Odes
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 - Epistles
Make money, money by fair means if you can, if not, but any means money.
Horace - Epistles
It is when I struggle to be brief that I become obscure.
Horace - Odes
Cease to ask what the morrow will bring forth. And set down as gain each day that Fortune grants.

He will always be a slave who does not know how to live upon a little.
Horace - Epistles
Once a word has been allowed to escape, it cannot be recalled.

Wisdom is not wisdom when it is derived from books alone.
Horace - Satires
There is measure in all things.

He who postpones the hour of living rightly is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses.

Life is largely a matter of expectation.
Horace - Odes
Whoever cultivates the golden mean avoids both the poverty of a hovel and the envy of a palace.
Horace - Odes
With you I should love to live, with you be ready to die.

If you wish me to weep, you must mourn first yourself.
Horace - Satires
Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work.
