About Virgil: Publius Vergilius Maro is known for three major works of Latin literature, the Eclogues (or Bucolics), the Georgics, and the epic Aeneid. A number of minor poems, collected in the Appendix Vergiliana, are sometimes attributed to him.
Fear is proof of a degenerate mind.
Time is flying never to return.
All our sweetest hours fly fastest.
Time flies never to be recalled.
But meanwhile time flies; it flies never to be regained.
All things deteriorate in time.
Trust not too much to appearances.
Trust one who has tried.
As the twig is bent the tree inclines.
Every calamity is to be overcome by endurance.
They succeed, because they think they can.
Love begets love, love knows no rules, this is same for all.
They can conquer who believe they can.
Come what may, all bad fortune is to be conquered by endurance.
Each of us bears his own Hell.
Confidence cannot find a place wherein to rest in safety.
Endure the present, and watch for better things.
Hug the shore; let others try the deep.
The descent to the infernal regions is easy enough, but to retrace one's steps, and reach the air above, there's the rub.
Persevere and preserve yourselves for better circumstances.
Fate will find a way.
