They can do all because they think they can.
Angels boast ethereal vigor, and are formed from seeds of heavenly birth.
VIRGIL, attributed, Day's Collacon
- In youth alone, unhappy mortals live;
- But, ah! the mighty bliss is fugitive:
- Discolour'd sickness, anxious labour, come,
- And age, and death's inexorable doom.
That man is the most loyal who aims at the noblest motive, and that motive the public good.
VIRGIL, attributed, Day's Collacon
A chaplet of leaves crowns the victor.
VIRGIL, attributed, Day's Collacon
The eye is pleased with the beautiful varieties of nature.
VIRGIL, attributed, Day's Collacon
The trees are cloth'd with leaves, the fields with grass;
The blossoms blow; the birds on bushes sing;
And Nature has accomplish'd all the spring.
VIRGIL, Eclogues
[Rumor] has a hundred tongues, a hundred mouths, a voice of iron.
VIRGIL, Georgics
All of which misery I saw, part of which I was.
VIRGIL, Aeneid
Labor conquers all things.
VIRGIL, attributed, Day's Collacon
