Virgil Quotes

Volvitur Euryalus leto, pulchrosque per artus

Audentes fortuna iuvat.

And reached out longing hands to the far shore.

Ferrea vox, omnis scelerum comprendere formas,
Omnia poenarum percurrere nomina possim.

Vice thrives and lives by concealment.

Nunc animis opus, Aenea, nunc pectore firmo.
