Horace
Quintus Horatius Flaccus · 65–8 BC · Roman
Lyric poet of measure: carpe diem without the poster-shop softening, and the art of living within one's means.
The man who is tenacious of purpose in a rightful cause is not shaken from his firm resolve by the frenzy of his fellow citizens clamoring for what is wrong.
