In adversity be spirited and firm, and with equal prudence lessen your sail when filled with a too fortunate gale of prosperity.
HoraceNot even for an hour can you bear to be alone, nor can you advantageously apply your leisure time, but you endeavor, a fugitive and wanderer, to escape from yourself, now vainly seeking to banish remorse by wine, and now by sleep; but the gloomy companion presses on you, and pursues you as you fly.
Horace
