  1. A quotation from La Rochefoucauld

    The reason we are not often wholly possessed by a single vice, is that we are distracted by several.
     
    [Ce qui nous empêche souvent de nous abandonner à un seul vice est que nous en avons plusieurs.]

  5. A quotation from Horace

    The Rash, the Lazy, Lover, none’s so wild,
    But may be tame, and may be wisely mild,
    If they consult true Vertue’s Rules with care,
    And lend to good advice a patient ear.
     
    [Invidus, iracundus, iners, vinosus, amator,
    nemo adeo ferus est, ut non mitescere possit,
    si modo culturae patientem commodet aurem.]

    Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 1 “To Maecenas,” l. 38ff (1.1.38-40) (20 BC) [tr. Creech (1684)]

  11. A quotation from Horace

    Dear sire, and offspring worthy of your fire!
    We bards are dupes to what ourselves admire.
    Would I be brief — I grow confused and coarse;
    Who aims at smoothness, fails in fire and force;
    In him who soars aloft, bombast is found;
    Who fears to face the tempest, crawls aground.
    Who courts variety and fain would ring
    A thousand changes on the self-same string,
    Will paint, as ’twere in fancy’s wildest mood
    Boars in the wave and dolphins in the wood.
    Thus even error, shun’d without address,
    Breeds error, diff’rent in its kind, not less.
     
    [Maxima pars vatum, pater et iuvenes patre digni,
    decipimur specie recti: brevis esse laboro,
    obscurus fio; sectantem levia nervi
    deficiunt animique; professus grandia turget;
    serpit humi tutus nimium timidusque procellae:
    qui variare cupit rem prodigialiter unam,
    delphinum silvis adpingit, fluctibus aprum:
    in vitium ducit culpae fuga, si caret arte.]

    Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 2, ep. 3 “Art of Poetry [Ars Poetica; To the Pisos],” l. 24ff (2.3.24-31) (19 BC) [tr. Howes (1845)]

  19. Perfect characters are boring – what vices do yours have?

    A vice is a practice, behaviour, or habit generally considered morally wrong in the associated society. In more minor usage, vice can refer to a fault, a negative character trait, a defect, an infirmity, or a bad or unhealthy habit. Vices are usually associated with a fault in a person’s character or temperament rather than their morality.

  20. Dip-slip fault (Geology ⛰️)

    In geology, a fault is a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock across which there has been significant displacement as a result of rock-mass movements. Large faults within Earth's crust result from the action of plate tectonic forces, with the largest forming the boundaries between the plates, such as the megathrust f...
