WIST Quotations<p><a href="https://wist.info/horace/75673/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">A quotation from <b>Horace</b></a></p><blockquote> You sleep, gaping,<br>On your bags of gold, adore them like hallowed<br>Relics not meant to be touched, stare as at gorgeous<br>Canvases. Money is meant to be spent, it buys pleasure:<br>Did you know that? Bread, vegetables, wine, you can<br>Buy almost everything it’s hard to live without.<br> <br><i> [Congestis undique saccis<br>indormis inhians et tamquam parcere sacris<br>cogeris aut pictis tamquam gaudere tabellis.<br>Nescis, quo valeat nummus, quem praebeat usum?<br>Panis ematur, holus, vini sextarius, adde<br>quis humana sibi doleat natura negatis.]</i></blockquote><p><b>Horace</b> (65-8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]<br><i>Satires [Saturae, Sermones],</i> Book 1, # 1, <i>“Qui fit, Mæcenas,”</i> l. 70ff (1.1.70-75) (35 BC) [tr.
