Horace

It is your business when the wall next door catches fire.

If matters go badly now, they will not always be so.

I teach that all men are mad.

There is nothing assured to mortals.

Wisdom is not wisdom when it is derived from books alone.

Every old poem is sacred.

The camera can represent flesh so superbly that, if I dared, I would never photograph a figure without asking that figure to take its clothes off.

Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.

Best friends that pick wedgies together stay besties for life!

Read over your compositions, and wherever you meet with a passage which you think is particularly fine, strike it out.

The empires of the future are the empires of the mind.

All Excess is ill: But Drunkenness is of the worst Sort. It spoils Health, dismounts the Mind, and unmans Men: It reveals Secrets, is Quarrelsome, Lascivious, Impudent, Dangerous and Mad. In fine, he that is drunk is not a Man: Because he is so long void of Reason, that distinguishes a Man from a Beast.

Necessity, who is the mother of invention.

We ascribe beauty to that which is simple; which has no superfluous parts; which exactly answers its end; which stands related to all things; which is the mean of many extremes.

Our strength grows out of our weakness.

What is the difference between a taxidermist and a tax collector? The taxidermist takes only your skin.

Go fish and hunt far and wide day by day – farther and wider – and rest thee by many brooks and hearth-sides without misgiving. Remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth. Rise free from care before the dawn, and seek adventures. Let the noon find thee by other lakes, and the night overtake thee everywhere at home. There are no larger fields than these, no worthier games than may here be played.

I was the same old me. Just like the Moon yesterday. But because of all the other factors that came to play, the darkness, the brightness, the blood red color. They all were a reflection, a projection due to the perfect set of circumstances. The Moon was still the Moon. But it was still labeled the Super Blue Blood Moon, Just so we can have some understanding, but, again I’ll state, the Moon was still just the Moon, just like I was still just me. Whatever you project on me, and I reflect back, doesn’t then make me become a new person, it’s just a reflection of your projection. I am still just me.

Nobody can bring you peace but yourself.

I am who I am today because of the choices I made yesterday.

The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
