Horace Quotes

Once a word has been allowed to escape, it cannot be recalled.

Horace
Roman lyric poet & satirist

Think to yourself that every day is your last; the hour to which you do not look forward will come as a welcome surprise.

Remember when life's path is steep to keep your mind even.

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

Drop the question what tomorrow may bring, and count as profit every day that fate allows you.
