Virgil

To each man shall his own free actions bring both his suffering and his good fortune.

Wherever Fate may lead us, whether on Or backward, let us follow. Whatsoever Occurs, all fortune must be overcome By endurance.

Endure, and keep yourselves for days of happiness.

Do not yield to misfortunes, but advance more boldly to meet them, as your fortune permits you.

Trust not too much to appearances.

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

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

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

Death twitches my ear; 'Live,' he says... 'I'm coming.'

Fortunate is he whose mind has the power to probe the causes of things and trample underfoot all terrors and inexorable fate.

The heavens so well they can predict the rising of the stars. But you, Romans, remember your great arts; To govern the peoples with authority, To establish peace under the rule of law, To conquer the mighty, and show them mercy once they are conquered.

Thus all things are doomed to change for the worse and retrograde.

Our fate, whatever it is to be, will be overcome by patience under it.

Age carries all things away, even the mind.

Trust one who has tried.

Too happy would you be, did ye but know your own advantages!

The hour is ripe, and yonder lies the way.
