Quote by Horace (65 BC-8 BC)

• Life is largely a matter of expectation.

• Whatever advice you give, be brief.

• Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents, which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant.

• 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.

• If you wish me to weep, you must mourn first yourself.
