Virgil

Let us go singing as far as we go the road will be less tedious.

Perhaps someday it will be pleasant to remember even this.

Time bears away all things.

Fortune helps the brave.

Fortune sides with him who dares.

Praise a large domain cultivate a small estate.

They are able who think they are able.

They are able because they think they are able.

The goose gabbles amid the melodious swans.

I fear the Greeks even when they bring gifts.

The seeds of life - fiery is their force, divine their birth, but they are weighed down by the bodies' ills or dulled by limbs and flesh that's born for death. That is the source of all men's fears and longings, joys and sorrows, nor can they see the heaven's light, shut up in the body's tomb, a prison dark and deep.

..and why the winter suns so rush to bathe themselves in the seaand what slows down the nights to a long lingering crawl...

The signs of the old flame, I know them well.I pray that the earth gape deep enough to take me downor the almighty Father blast me with one bolt to the shades,the pale, glimmering shades in hell, the pit of night,before I dishonor you, my conscience, break your laws.

...She nourishes the poison in her veins and is consumed by a secret fire.

the dank night is sweeping down from the skyand the setting stars incline our heads to sleep.

forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit.and perhaps it will be pleasing to have remembered these things one day

What a tale he's told, what a bitter bowl of war he's drunk to the dregs.

Each of us bears his own Hell.
