Courage
Plautus, Amphitruo 648-653 (Alcumena speaking; tr. Paul Nixon):
‹Older
Courage is the very best gift of all; courage stands before everything, it does, it does! It is what maintains and preserves our liberty, safety, life, and our homes and parents, our country and children. Courage comprises all things: a man with courage has every blessing.David M. Christenson ad loc. (click to enlarge):
virtus praemium est optumum;
virtus omnibus rebus anteit profecto:
libertas salus vita res et parentes, 650
patria et prognati
tutantur, servantur:
virtus omnia in sese habet, omnia assunt
bona quem penest virtus.
