Horace 1072 quotes

I have reared a memorial more ...

I have reared a memorial more enduring than brass, and loftier than the regal structure of the pyramids, which neither the corroding shower nor the powerless north wind can destroy; no, not even unending years nor the flight of time itself. I shall not entirely die. The greater part of me shall escape oblivion.
[Lat., Exegi monumentum aera perennius
Regalique situ pyramidum altius,
Quod non imber edax, non Aquilo impotens
Possit diruere aut innumerabilis
Annorum series et fuga temporum.
No

I live and reign since I have abandoned those pleasures which you by your praises extol to the skies.

Quae vos ad coelum effertis rumore secundo.]

Non homines, non di, non concessere columnae.]

Sublimi feriam sidera vertice.]

The man is either mad or his is making verses.

Horace 1072 quotes

The common people are but ill ...

The common people are but ill judges of a man's merits; they are slaves to fame, and their eyes are dazzled with the pomp of titles and large retinue. No wonder, then, that they bestow their honors on those who least deserve them.

Horace 1072 quotes

What does not wasting time change! The age of our parents, worse than that of our grandsires, has brought us forth more impious still, and we shall produce a more vicious progeny.

Be brief, that the mind may catch thy precepts, and the more easily retain them.

Horace 1072 quotes

Abridge your hopes in proporti...

Abridge your hopes in proportion to the shortness of the span of human life; for while we converse, the hours, as if envious of our pleasure, fly away: enjoy, therefore, the present time, and trust not too much to what to-morrow may produce.

Horace 1072 quotes

Busy not yourself in looking f...

Busy not yourself in looking forward to the events of to-morrow; but whatever may be those of the days Providence may yet assign you neglect not to turn them to advantage.

Horace 1072 quotes

Shun to seek what is hid in th...

Shun to seek what is hid in the womb of the morrow, and set down as gain in life's ledger whatever time fate shall have granted thee.

Horace 1072 quotes

Whatever things injure your ey...

Whatever things injure your eye you are anxious to remove; but things which affect your mind you defer.

Horace 1072 quotes

I hate the uncultivated crowd ...

I hate the uncultivated crowd and keep them at a distance. Favour me by your tongues (keep silence).
[Lat., Odi profanum vulgus et arceo.
Favete linguis.]
