Lucretius

Lucretius
From the very fountain of enchantment there arises a taste of bitterness to spread anguish amongst the flowers.
Lucretius
The dreadful fear of hell is to be driven out, which disturbs the life of man and renders it miserable, overcasting all things with the blackness of darkness, and leaving no pure, unalloyed pleasure.
Lucretius
Our life must once have end in vain we fly From following Fate e'en now, e'en now, we die.
Lucretius
Victory puts us on a level with heaven.
Lucretius
For there is a VOID in things a truth which it will be useful for you, in reference to many points, to know and which will prevent you from wandering in doubt.
