The Greeks got into Troy by trying, my pretties; everything's done by trying.
ἐς Τροίαν πειρώμενοι ἦνθον Ἀχαιοί,
καλλίστα παίδων· πείρᾳ θην πάντα τελεῖται.
καλλίστα παίδων· πείρᾳ θην πάντα τελεῖται.

More quotes by Theocritus
While there's life there’s hope, and only the dead have none.
Sweeter, shepherd, falls thy song than yonder stream that tumbles plashing from the rocks.
