Famous quotes containing the words roman and/or antiquity:

    “I cannot call Riches better than the baggage of virtue. The Roman word is better, impedimenta. For as the baggage is to an army, so is riches to virtue. It cannot be spared nor left behind, but it hindereth the march; yea and the care of it sometimes loseth or disturbeth the victory.”
    —Francis Bacon (1561–1626)

    “Nothing but great antiquity can make graveyards interesting to me. I have no friends there.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
