I thought it would be good to have a thread where folks might post quotes they like or know of that are applicable to our current times. People who frequent this forum are a diverse swath of American life, so to me at least, it would be interesting to see the different quotes people find applicable or representative.


I would start with this one:

A portion of mankind take pride in their vices and pursue their purpose; many more waver between doing what is right and complying with what is wrong.
Horace
Pale Death with impartial tread beats at the poor man's cottage door and at the palaces of kings.
Horace
