If there's one thing about history that I find absolutely epic, It's famous quotes. The kind you just read and have a WHOA reaction because you gotta think about it for a while. Anyways, here's a collection of Roman quotations I really like.

-It is the part of a fool to say, I should not have thought.
-I'm never less at leisure than when at leisure, or less alone than when alone.

Augustus(First Emperor, although he never claimed to actually be emperor his entire reign. Also the month of August is named after him)

-I found Rome a city of bricks and left it a city of marble.
-I like treachery, but I cannot say anything good of traitors.
-Well done is quickly done

Marcus Aurelius

-A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions.
-Aptitude found in the understanding and is often inherited. Genius coming from reason and imagination, rarely.
