Virgil
Arma virumque cano, Troiae qui primus ab oris
Italiam fato profugus Laviniaque venit
Litora, multum ille et terris iactatus et alto
Vi superum, saevae memorem Iunonis ob iram.
Virgil quotes
O nimium caelo et pelago confise sereno,
Nudus in ignota, Palinure, iacebis harena.
Virgil
Di, talem terris avertite pestem!




Virgil quotes
Placidaque ibi demum morte quievit.
Virgil
O terque quaterque beati!
Virgil quotes
Thou that singest wheat and woodland, tilth and vineyard, hive and horse and herd;
All the charm of all the Muses often flowering in a lonely word.
Virgil
Ore favete omnes.
Virgil quotes
Tacitae per amica silentia lunae.
Virgil
Fama, malum qua non aliud velocius ullum.
Virgil
Sub tegmine fagi.
Virgil
Prisca fides facto, sed fama perennis.




Virgil quotes
Manibus date lilia plenis.
Virgil
Omnia vincit Amor; et nos cedamus Amori.
Virgil quotes
Laudumque immensa cupido.
Virgil
Maybe one day we shall be glad to remember even these things.
Virgil quotes
Fuimus Troes, fuit Ilium et ingens
Gloria Teucrorum.
Virgil
Vestibulum ante ipsum primisque in faucibus Orci
Luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia Curae,
Pallentesque habitant Morbi tristisque Senectus,
Et Metus et malesuada Fames ac turpis Egestas,
Terribiles visu formae, Letumque Labosque;
tum consanguineus Leti Sopor.
Virgil quotes
Incipe, parve puer, risu cognoscere matrem.
Virgil
Dux femina facti.
Virgil
Quisque suos patimur Manes.
