Virgil

Better times perhaps await us who are now wretched.

Passion and strife bow down the mind.

Let not our proposal be disregarded on the score of our youth.

In strife who inquires whether stratagem or courage was used?

If one swain scorns you, you will soon find another.

I shudder when relating it.

He enters the port with a full sail.

Happy is he who can trace effects to their causes.

From my example learn to be just, and not to despise the gods.

Confidence cannot find a place wherein to rest in safety.

There should be no strife with the vanquished or the dead.

All things deteriorate in time.

Age carries all things away, even the mind.

One man excels in eloquence, another in arms.

What each man feared would happen to himself, did not trouble him when he saw that it would ruin another.

The world cares very little about what a man or woman knows; it is what a man or woman is able to do that counts.

The descent to the infernal regions is easy enough, but to retrace one's steps, and reach the air above, there's the rub.

Every sound alarms.

Each of us bears his own Hell.

Hug the shore; let others try the deep.

Cease to think that the decrees of the gods can be changed by prayers.

Is there any pleasure in anger? Yes, if the fire of my anger appeases the ashes of my friends.

O accursed hunger of gold, to what dost thou not compel human hearts!

Your descendants shall gather your fruits.

Fear is proof of a degenerate mind.

Who can blind lover's eyes?

Fury itself supplies arms.

We can't all do everything.

Who asks whether the enemy was defeated by strategy or valor?

The medicine increases the disease.

Consider what each soil will bear, and what each refuses.

Wherever the fates lead us let us follow.

From one learn all.

The only safety for the conquered is to expect no safety.

If ye despise the human race, and mortal arms, yet remember that there is a God who is mindful of right and wrong.

What region of the earth is not full of our calamities?

Persevere and preserve yourselves for better circumstances.

Their rage supplies them with weapons.

Yield not to calamity, but face her boldly.

Want of pluck shows want of blood.

There's a snake lurking in the grass.

He like a rock in the sea unshaken stands his ground.

Perhaps the day may come when we shall remember these sufferings with joy.

Myself acquainted with misfortune, I learn to help the unfortunate.

Time passes irrevocably.

Time is flying never to return.

Endure the present, and watch for better things.

Love begets love, love knows no rules, this is same for all.

Even virtue is fairer when it appears in a beautiful person.

They are able because they think they are able.
