Three conceptions of time

Which came from various parts of E. H. Carr's What is History?, which, by the way, was really quite an enlightening read. Translations below are only approximate.

1. 'Imperium sine fine dedi' - Virgil, Aeneid: "I give them empire without limit" -- time as linear, unending, passive, something that humankind can control and master.
   
2. 'Damnosa quid non imminuit dies?' - Horace: "What does all-corroding time not destroy?" -- time as an active, slowly destructive force; as a cycle of creation and destruction.
   
3. 'Veritas temporis filia' - Francis Bacon: "Truth is the daughter of time" -- time still as linear, perhaps, but not entirely passive, though somewhat more benign. Or, maybe, Bacon addresses the issue of truth more than that of time here.
