Horace Quotes, Life Quotes, Rivers Quotes

He who postpones the hour of living as he ought, is like the rustic who waits for the river to pass along (before he crosses); but it glides on and will glide forever. [Lat., Vivendi recte qui prorogat horam Rusticus expectat dum defluat amnis; at ille Labitur et labetur in omne volubilis aevum.]

The river itself has no beginning or end. In its beginning, it is not yet the river; in the end it is no longer the river.

At what point in its course does the Mississippi become what the Mississippi means?

All things are nourished together without their injuring one another. The courses of the seasons, and of the sun and moon, are pursued without any collision among them.
