Frederick Ahl Quotes

“Crewmates, by now we are hardly strangers to evil and hardship.
We've suffered worse. God will grant us an end to these sufferings also. …
Take heart once again and dispel your fears and depression.
Maybe the day'll come when even this will be joy to remember.”

Translation of Virgil's Aeneid (2007), Book I, lines 198–199 and 202–203
