Marcus Valerius Maximus

Famous quotes containing the words marcus and/or valerius:

    No failure in America, whether of love or money, is ever simple; it is always a kind of betrayal, of a mass of shadowy, shared hopes.
    —Greil Marcus (b. 1945)

    The night discharged of all care
    Where wine may bear no sovereignty;
    The chaste wife wise, without debate;
    Such sleeps as may beguile the night;
    Contented with thine own estate;
    Neither wish death, nor fear his might.
    Martial (Marcus Valerius Martialus)
