Excerpt from Including Horace Over and over again he tells us to enjoy the pres ent and distrust tomorrow. The years slip by, he exclaims; and, impressed with the profundity of this thought, repeats it at every opportunity. What are his words on Wealth? All the gold in the world cannot keep you from dying. Likewise, It is wrong to hoard money, and The man who is happy 13 better than a king. His views on friendship?
