"Acer, et indomitus: quo spes, quoque ira vocasset, Ferre manum, et nunquam temerando parcere ferro: Successus urgere suos: instare favori Numinis: impellens quicquid sibi summa petenti Obstaret: gaudensque viam fecisse ruina."
— Julius Caesar

January 1, 1970

Undaunted, keen: where Hope or Passion called He'd fight, nor ever sheathe the murderous sword. Pressing advantage, following up his star, And sweeping all between him and his prize, He hailed the ruin that bestrew’d his way. — Lucan, 1, 146 — Reported in Classical and Foreign Quotations (1904), no. 15
