Horace appears in good humor while he censures, and therefore his censure has the more weight, as supposed to proceed from judgment and not from passion.

Whose yesterdays look backwards with a smile.

The person of wisdom is the person of years.

The future... seems to me no unified dream but a mince pie, long in the baking, never quite done

Beautiful as sweet, And young as beautiful, and soft as young, And gay as soft, and innocent as gay!

By all means use some time to be alone.

Groan under gold, yet weep for want of bread.
