Ave Line

Famous quotes containing the words ave and/or line:

    And forever, brother, hail and farewell.
    [Atque in perpetuum, frater, ave atque vale.]
    Catullus [Gaius Valerius Catullus] (84–54 B.C.)

    What we are, that only can we see. All that Adam had, all that Caesar could, you have and can do. Adam called his house, heaven and earth; Caesar called his house, Rome; you perhaps call yours, a cobbler’s trade; a hundred acres of ploughed land; or a scholar’s garret. Yet line for line and point for point, your dominion is as great as theirs, though without fine names. Build, therefore, your own world.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
