"He who postpones the hour
of living rightly…
is like the rustic who waits
for the river to run out…
before he crosses."

"the Hour of Living Rightly"
Lest we mistakenly believe that this business of living “in the moment” or pursuing the “carpe diem” imperative is something of a “New Age” construct… Please consider these words from Horace.
"He who postpones the hour
of living rightly…
is like the rustic who waits
for the river to run out…
before he crosses."
