Aeneid
Sayings by Virgil
Love conquers all things; let us too surrender to Love.
The descent to Hell is easy.
I fear the Greeks, even when bearing gifts.
The snake lurks hidden in the grass.
Happy is he who has been able to learn the causes of things.
They can because they think they can.
The only safety for the conquered is to expect no safety.
Time flies irretrievably.
Every man is chained to his own fate.
The gates of Hell are open night and day.
Fortune favors the bold.
The medicine increases the disease.
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.
They are able because they seem to be able.
The worst evil of all is to leave the ranks of the living before one dies.
The only hope for the doomed is no hope at all.
The snake is in the grass, and the poison is under the flower.
The greatest wealth is health.
The descent to the underworld is the same from every place.
The only salvation for the wretched is to have no hope of salvation.
