Horace (65 to 8 BC) wrote as Rome shed its republic and became an empire under Augustus.
Amid
political upheaval, he found wisdom in moderation, friendship, and the passing
day.
His
compact observations have echoed across two thousand years of human experience.
Following
are three of his quotes:
— “It is your concern when your neighbor's wall
is on fire.”
— “Seize the day, and put the least possible
trust in tomorrow.”
— “One wanders to the left, another to the
right. Both are equally in error, but, are seduced by different delusions.”
