Horace

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

Take away the danger and remove the restraint, and wayward nature runs free.

Refrain from asking what going to happen tomorrow, and everyday that fortune grants you, count as gain.

Those that are little, little things suit.

A picture is a poem without words.

The one who prosperity takes too much delight in will be the most shocked by reverses.

Nothing is beneath you if it is in the direction of your life.

I think that we may safely trust a good deal more than we do. We may waive just so much care of ourselves as we honestly bestow elsewhere.

Nature hates calculators.

A man’s growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

A man is what he thinks about all day long.

If you aren’t fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm.

We are stripped bare by the curse of plenty.

Humanity has unquestionably one really effective weapon

Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong.

A shoe that is too large is apt to trip one, and when too small, to pinch the feet. So it is with those whose fortune does not suit them.

People ignore the thing they have the most power over. I know so many people who will go to a protest and do something big on an issue. But they won’t deal with that issue in their home.

Man was made at the end of the week’s work when God was tired.

The problems of victory are more agreeable than those of defeat, but they are no less difficult.

I am a sky gazer. The sky, it pulls at me. Its amazing eternal expanse of breathtaking beauty calls me back to my senses, stretches my awareness, soothes my eyes, opens my heart, stills me. I feel a soft soul longing to be up there, in the vastness, amongst the clouds that are alive and billow and skud and glow; metamorphosing from perfection into perfection. A constantly changing canvas brushed by magic.

Do not let spacious plans for a new world divert your energies from saving what is left of the old.
