Publius Vergilius Maro October 15, 70 BC – September 21, 19 BC), usually called Virgil or Vergil in English, was an ancient Roman poet of the Augustan period. He wrote three of the most famous poems in Latin literature, the Eclogues (or Bucolics), the Georgics, and the epic Aeneid. A number of minor poems, collected in the Appendix Vergiliana, are sometimes attributed to him.
Virgil is traditionally ranked as one of Rome’s greatest poets. His Aeneid has been considered the national epic of ancient Rome from the time of its composition to the present day. Modelled after Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, the Aeneid follows the Trojan refugee Aeneas as he struggles to fulfill his destiny and reach Italy; where his descendants Romulus and Remus were to found the city of Rome. Virgil’s work has had wide and deep influence on Western literature, most notably Dante’s Divine Comedy, in which Virgil appears as Dante’s guide through Hell and Purgatory. Wikipedia
Virgil
Fortune favours the brave.
Let us go singing as far as we go: the road will be less tedious.
Look with favour upon a bold beginning.
Love conquers all things; let us too surrender to Love.
They can conquer who believe they can. They can do all because they think they can.
Trust one who has gone through it.
Yield not to evils, but attack all the more boldly.
Your descendants shall gather your fruits.
