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

If a man's fortune does not fit him, it is like the shoe in the story; if too large it trips him up, if too small it pinches him.
Horace

Lawyers are men who hire out their words and anger.
Horace

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

A word, once sent abroad, flies irrevocably.
Horace

Fortune makes a fool of those she favors too much.
Horace

Time will bring to light whatever is hidden; it will cover up and conceal what is now shining in splendor.
Horace
