By his own account, Quintus Horatius Flaccus was a terrible soldier. He fought for the losing side 
in civil wars. When the order came to "Attack!", he dropped his shield and ran in the wrong 
direction. Back in Rome, he got a job as a petty bureaucrat. It was not a very good job, but it left 
him plenty of time to write. And his writing is what the poet whom we know as Horace is still 
remembered for to this day. Maybe it is a good thing that he dropped his shield and ran. Who 
remembers the ones who died, or their cause? This is, perhaps, the proof that the pen really is 
mightier than the sword!
