“Lectio, quae placuit, decies repetita placebit.

(What we read with pleasure we can read many times with pleasure.)”
― Horace, Arte poética

“People are frugal in guarding their personal property; but as soon as it comes to squandering time they are most wasteful of the one thing in which it is right to be stingy.”
― Seneca, On the Shortness of Life

“Better to hunt in fields, for health unbought,
Than fee the doctor for a nauseous draught.
The wise, for cure, on exercise depend;
God never made his work for man to mend.”
― John Dryden, The critical and miscellaneous prose works of John Dryden, now first collected

“Ira furor brevis est: animum rege: qui nisi paret imperat.

(Anger is a brief madness: govern your mind [temper], for unless it obeys it commands.)”
― Horace, The Odes of Horace
