Oh imitators, you slavish herd.
Horace (Quintus Horatius Flaccus) Quotes

It is your business, when the wall next door catches fire.
The mountains will be in labor, and a ridiculous mouse will be born.
When discord dreadful bursts her brazen bars, And shatters locks to thunder forth her wars.
Remember when life’s path is steep to keep your mind even.
