Famous quotes containing the words venus and/or jupiter:
“Knaves and fools
have done you impious wrong,

and Venus as desire
is venereous, lascivious.”

“Few and signally blessed are those whom Jupiter has destined to be cabbage-planters. For theyve always one foot on the ground and the other not far from it. Anyone is welcome to argue about felicity and supreme happiness. But the man who plants cabbages I now positively declare to be the happiest of mortals.”
—François Rabelais (c. 14941553)
