TITUS CAIUS SILIUS ITALICUS
Roman poet and politician
(25 - 101)

Brave men ought not to be cast down by adversity.
      - [Adversity]

It is noble and so regarded both among nations and individuals to keep faith in adversity.
      - [Adversity]

Virtue herself is her own fairest reward.
  [Lat., Ipsa quidem virtus sibimet pulcherrima merces.]
      - Punica (bk. XIII, l. 663) [Virtue]

Valor, gradually overpowered by the delicious poison of sloth, grows torpid.
  [Lat., Blandoque veneno
    Desidiae virtus paullatim evicta senescit.]
      - Punica (III, 580) [Idleness]

Adversity tries men; but virtue struggles after fame regardless of the adverse heights.
  [Lat., Explorant adversa viros. Perque aspera dura
    Nititur ad laudem virtus interrita clivo.]
      - Punica (IV, 605) [Virtue]

Away with delay; the change of great fortune is short-lived.
  [Lat., Pelle moras; brevis est magni fortuna favoris.]
      - Punica (IV, 734) [Delay]

The wheel of time rolls downward through various changes.
  [Lat., Per varios praeceps casus rota volvitur aevi.]
      - Punica (VI, 121) [Time]
