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

“The aim of the poet is to inform or delight, or to combine together, in what he says, both pleasure and applicability to life. In instructing, be brief in what you say in order that your readers may grasp it quickly and retain it faithfully. Superfluous words simply spill out when the mind is already full. Fiction invented in order to please should remain close to reality.”

“Pactum serva" - "Keep the faith”

“Clogged with yesterday's excess, the body drags the mind down with it.”

“How slight and insignificant is the thing which casts down or restores a mind greedy for praise.”

“Life grants nothing to us mortals without hard work.”

“Subdue your passion or it will subdue you.”
