Quotations for roman

What's brave, what's noble,
Let's do it after the high Roman fashion,
And make death proud to take us. [ William Shakespeare ]

Roman virtue it was that raised the Roman glory. [ Proverb ]

'Twas glory once to be a Roman; She makes it glory, now, to be a man. [ Bayard Taylor ]

Beauty is no local deity, like the Greek and Roman gods, but omnipresent. [ Bartol ]

The Roman mob follows the lead of fortune, as it always does, and hates those that are condemned. [ Juv ]

I have adopted the Roman sentiment, that it is more honorable to save a citizen than to kill an enemy. [ Dr. Johnson ]

What are these wondrous civilizing arts, this Roman polish, and this smooth behavior that render man thus tractable and tame? [ Addison ]

Perseverance is a Roman virtue that wins each godlike act, and plucks success even from the spear-proof crest of rugged danger. [ Harvard ]

In Athens the ladies were not gaudily but simply arrayed, and we doubt whether any ladies ever excited more admiration. So also the noble old Roman matrons, whose superb forms were gazed on delightedly by men worthy of them, were always very plainly dressed. [ George D. Prentice ]

It is a folly for an eminent man to think of escaping censure, and a weakness to be affected with it. All the illustrious persons of antiquity, and indeed of every age in the world, have passed through this fiery persecution. There is no defense against reproach but obscurity; it is a kind of concomitant to greatness, as satires and invectives were an essential part of a Roman triumph. [ Addison ]

Gentlemen, do you know what is the finest speech that I ever in my life heard or read? It is the address of Garibaldi to his Roman soldiers, when he told them: Soldiers, what I have to offer you is fatigue, danger, struggle and death; the chill of the cold night in the free air, and heat under the burning sun; no lodgings, no munitions, no provisions, but forced marches, dangerous watchposts and the continual struggle with the bayonet against batteries; - those who love freedom and their country may follow me. That is the most glorious speech I ever heard in my life. [ Kossuth ]
