Additional quotes by Silius Italicus

Ordior arma, quibus caelo se gloria tollit
Aeneadum, patiturque ferox Oenotria iura
Carthago.

Ipsa quidem virtus sibimet pulcherrima merces;
dulce tamen venit ad manis, cum gratia vitae
durat apud superos nec edunt oblivia laudem.

Et deforme malum ac sceleri proclivis Egestas
Errorque infido gressu, et Discordia gaudens
permiscere fretum caelo.

Quoque magis subiere iugo atque euadere nisi erexere gradum, crescit labor. ardua supra sese aperit fessis et nascitur altera moles. - Silius Italicus
