Additional quotes by Horace

Dum licet, in rebus jucundis vive beatus;
Vive memor quam sis aevi brevis.

It is not the rich man you should properly call happy,
but him who knows how to use with wisdom the blessings of the gods,
to endure hard poverty, and who fears dishonor worse than death,
and is not afraid to die for cherished friends or fatherland.
