Time will bring to light whatever is hidden; it will cover up and conceal what is now shining in splendor.
Quidquid sub terra est, in apricum proferet ætas;
Defodiet condetque nitentia.
Defodiet condetque nitentia.

More quotes by Horace
To flee vice is the beginning of virtue, and to have got rid of folly is the beginning of wisdom.
The mountains will be in labor, and a ridiculous mouse will be brought forth.

A generation which ignores history has no past —and no future.
Nothing is there to come, and nothing past,
But an eternal now does always last.
