Additional quotes by Gaius Valerius Flaccus

Spumanti qualis in alto
Pliade capta ratis, trepidi quam sola magistri
cura tenet, rapidum ventis certantibus aequor
intemerata secat, Pollux sic providus ictus
servat.

Dicta dabant ventis nec debita fata movebant.

Not by hazard are ye come; divine fate, I ween, hath brought you to my shores.

Saepe suas misero promittere destinat artes, denegat atque una potius decernit in ira ac neque tam turpi cessuram semet amori proclamat. - Gaius Valerius Flaccus
