Horace quotes - page 9
Horace was a Roman poet, best known for his Odes and Satires. His works explored themes of love, philosophy, and the simple joys of life. He became one of the most influential literary figures in Latin literature. Here are 258 of his quotes:
If my character is flawed by a few minor faults, but is otherwise decent and moral, if you can point out only a few scattered blemishes on an otherwise immaculate surface, if no one can accuse me of greed, or of prurience, or of profligacy, if I live a virtuous life, free of defilement (pardon, for a moment, my self-praise), and if I am to my friends a good friend, my father deserves all the credit... As it is now, he deserves from me unstinting gratitude and praise. I could never be ashamed of such a father, nor do I feel any need, as many people do, to apologize for being a freedman's son.
