Horace and me

Ever since chapter 1 I have felt Horace's philosophy and outlook on life is similar to my own. Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero. I believe we must live for today and forget our troubled pasts. So I decided to investigate further and see what else in common we had. Sadley I was only able to skim through his first book of Odes. Heres some that I found and like:
Caelum ipsum petimus stultitia
Dum loquimur fugerit invida aetas
Siccis omnia nam dura deus proposuit neque mordaces aliter diffugiunt sollicitudines
Horace lived life to the max having fun and doing what he loved, I can only hope the rest of my days have the same outcome.
