Classical antiquity2 quotes
Thrice blessed (and more) are they whom an unbroken bond holds and whose love, never strained by nasty quarrels, will not slip until their dying day. — Horace · 23 BCIt is not he who has many possessions that you should call blessed: he more rightly deserves that name who knows how to use the gods' gifts wisely and to endure harsh poverty, and who fears dishonor more than death. — Horace · 11 BC
