VIRGILTime carries all things, even our wits, away.
VIRGILAs it spreads, the rumor gains strength.
VIRGILIf I cannot move heaven, I will raise hell.
VIRGILEach of us bears his own Hell.
VIRGILAll our sweetest hours fly fastest
VIRGILRumor starts as a timid thing, But soon it covers the earth, and its voices ring, While its feet walk the ground and its head is above the clouds.
VIRGILThe noblest motive is the public good.
VIRGILEvery man’s last day is fixed. Lifetimes are brief, and not to be regained, for all mankind. But by their deeds to make their fame last: that is labor for the brave.

VIRGILFear reveals baseborn souls!
VIRGILRumor starts as a timid thing, But soon it covers the earth, and its voices ring, While its feet walk the ground and its head is above the clouds.
VIRGILLet us go singing as far as we go: the road will be less tedious.

VIRGILThe only hope for the doomed, is no hope at all.
VIRGILThe greatest wealth is health.
VIRGILThe dank night is sweeping down from the sky and the setting stars incline our heads to sleep.
