Quotes by Virgil

Age steals away all things, even the mind.
Mind moves matter.
None but himself can be his parallel.
Who can blind lover's eyes?
Happy the man who has been able to learn the causes of things.
Cease to think that the decrees of the gods can be changed by prayers.
Passion and strife bow down the mind.
Go forth a conqueror and win great victories.
Every sound alarms.
O accursed hunger of gold, to what dost thou not compel human hearts!
Time passes irrevocably.
Time is flying never to return.
The only safety for the conquered is to expect no safety.
Endure the present, and watch for better things.
What region of the earth is not full of our calamities?
But meanwhile time flies; it flies never to be regained.
To have died once is enough.
If ye despise the human race, and mortal arms, yet remember that there is a God who is mindful of right and wrong.
Their rage supplies them with weapons.
From one learn all.
I fear the Greeks, even when they bring gifts.
Hug the shore; let others try the deep.
Persevere and preserve yourselves for better circumstances.
It is easy to go down into Hell; night and day, the gates of dark Death stand wide; but to climb back again, to retrace one's steps to the upper air - there's the rub, the task.
He enters the port with a full sail.
