  1. A quotation from Horace

    He who puts off the hour to begin living rightly
    Is like the yokel who stands at the stream with a sigh:
    “I can’t get across. I’ll wait here till it runs dry.”
    Meanwhile, it flows, forever flows on and rolls by.
     
              [Qui recte vivendi prorogat horam,
    rusticus exspectat dum defluat amnis; at ille
    labitur et labitur in omne volubilis aevum.]

    Horace (65-8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 2 “To Lollius,” l. 41ff (1.2.41-42) (20 BC) [tr. Palmer Bovie (1959)]
